The stories Lola and Portrait of Yvette, included in the collection by the popular St. Petersburg prose writer Igor Kubersky, belong to the rather rare genre of erotic adventure, where watching the extreme, life-and-death situations the main character gets into is no less interesting than his amorous escapades. The author amazes with the intricacy of the plot, as well as with his ability to find metaphors that fill the action-style narrative with astonishing sensual colors.
