All the Easier

This audiobook is a kaleidoscope of nine stories that you can read in any order (except the first and last). The heroines and heroes of the stories are our contemporaries living in Russia and beyond its borders. What unites them is one thing—a sharp desire to escape reality, to hide in a world of fantasies and memories. In the first story, the listener meets a young woman trying to cope with loneliness and a creative crisis during a business trip. Her life flips upside down when she meets a mysterious young man. The last story sums up the entire book. The author reflects on the nature of memory and how the past influences the present.
