ILLEGAL CONSUMPTION OF NARCOTIC DRUGS, PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES, AND THEIR ANALOGUES IS HARMFUL TO HEALTH, AND THEIR ILLICIT TRAFFICKING IS PROHIBITED AND ENTAILS LIABILITY ESTABLISHED BY LAW. Svetlana Sachkova was an editor of Allure and Glamour magazines, wrote for Vogue, Medusa, Big City and Afisha Daily, and recently became a fellow of the Truman Capote Foundation. This novel is about how difficult it is to remain human when everyone around you considers you a "black sheep" and a loser. Tanya is vulnerable, shy, and hasn't really worked anywhere. Sasha has a tiny business, an unhappy marriage, a Japanese lover, and dreams of much more. When he meets an eight-year-old boy on the street at night, and Tanya gets a dog, a really strange story begins.
