My Other Half and Other Stories

His first collection, “Lyrics of Real Life,” Alexander Prokhorov published almost 15 years ago.
In 2017, the book “Games for Adults and Other Stories” was released.
That same year, after the collection had already come out, a new, significant story for the author appeared: “When I Hold Her by the Hand.”
This audio collection includes this story and two older ones—“My Other Half” and “Sunday Ascent.”

What does the author write about? Here are a couple of opinions from ordinary readers.

“How much do we remember about our own lives? While we’re young, our memory is fresh, and we can’t imagine that some time will pass and we’ll start to forget—‘forget, as if nothing had ever been.’ Alexander Prokhorov’s stories—sometimes funny, sometimes touching—are impossible to read without empathy. They make you stop and suddenly remember something similar, and sometimes completely different, from your own life—forever, it seems, forgotten.” — Alexander Guryev

“The world of Alexander Prokhorov is pleasant. Situations familiar to many. It’s like you’re looking at yourself from the outside... But writing it so vividly—doesn’t work.” — Helю Reбане.
