The Country of Learned Lessons

The stories, in their mood and style, fit very easily into the context of contemporary women’s prose. Using stereotypes and clichés, the author debunks the fears of absolutely all women who have approached the medieval line (as the author aptly puts it). The heroine loses consciousness and, upon coming to, realizes that she has lost her fifty-year-old reality with all its attributes and has found herself at the age of sixteen, in 1984.

The stories are like a dangerous circus act in which the heroine is simultaneously a clown, a juggler, an animal trainer sticking her worthless little head into a lion’s mouth, and, accordingly, that very mouth of that very lion, already sick of these trainers.

The work is written in the fantasy genre, which the author defines as CAZUAL fantasy, because life, despite its everydayness, can be very fantastical.
