Night swimming in August

The second edition of Serhiy Osoka's book of short prose "Night Bathing in August" is supplemented with a number of new works that will definitely delight fans of his talent.

This book is the most convincing proof that we all come from childhood. In Serhiy Osoka's short stories and pictures, there is an anatomy of a child's soul, which is dissected by an adult soul that has not yet become an adult, but does not really want to. Hence the extreme, or even extreme, sincerity. The reader believes the narrator unconditionally - like a black-and-white photo from his own childhood. Because all these apparently ordinary, traditional, everyday plots, the destinies and feelings of adults — relatives, fellow villagers and "strangers" who are touched by children's sensitivity — are about everyone. And to everyone who remembers and cherishes the Child in himself - with his discoveries and amazement at the world, with his acute pain and disappointments, with his primal love for life and people.
