Pozhiratel'nica grehov

"Legkie aplodismenty, para slov o ney, nichego strashnogo, eto polezno, otkroyte rty i primite, kak vitaminy, uspokoitel'noe. Net. Ne budet im sladkoy ee. Ona vsya sozhmetsya v kulak. Shag vpered po scene, slova svilis' v klubok, ona raspahnet rot - i zal vzorvetsya ot krovi". Rozhdennyy i poteryannyy rebenok, roza v cellofane, devochka v invalidnoy kolyaske, tainstvennaya oderzhimost' nelepogo chuzhaka, udivitel'nye goroda, gde nekomu zhit', bayadery, kotoryh nikto ne videl, krushenie, tihoe bezumie i vopl' otchayaniya - zhizn', nesmotrya ni na chto. Znamenitaya kanadskaya pisatel'nica, laureat Bukerovskoy premii Margaret Etvud vyvorachivaet dushi naiznanku, lomaet i vnov' otstraivaet zhizni, povergaet v prah i vossozdaet strahi i strasti.
