Sagittarius

If there is no love in the heart, then the person is dead. They only pretend to be alive. This is a kind of starting point for all of Viktoria Tokareva’s work— the best, the finest analyst of this wonderful feeling. Tokareva’s stories and novellas are tender, sad, lyrical, full of psychological insight into our time. Stories of loneliness and misunderstanding, of emotional and spiritual wavering—and of love. Love that often becomes only a beautiful episode amid the bustle of modern life, but sometimes turns out to be a true light that illuminates our gray everyday life—once and for all.
