At Sunset

The stories describe two worlds: one real autobiographical with reference to place and time, the other timeless. The main characters - the writer and his muse - are in two worlds. The action of all the stories takes place at sunset. The main theme of the narrative is love - the only reference point in the journey between realities. Timelessness and immortality are important themes of the narrative. All the texts are united by cross-cutting metaphors and common details. The collection is constructed as a puzzle of ten unequal fragments, which is assembled into a single narrative at the very end. The chronology of events is deliberately not observed. Each story is self-sufficient on the one hand, and on the other hand complements the overall picture. Each story has a mystery, the solution to which is found in the other stories. There are no unambiguous answers; any of the reader's possible alternative solutions is correct. It all depends on his point of vision. The last story opens a new level of the text, which leads to a rethinking of the previous texts and encourages a re-reading of the collection according to the principle of reverse reading.
