Compiling short stories from almost thirty years is always a challenge. War changes the perspective on ordinary things, like a change in lighting. All these stories are in one way or another inscribed in a formula that is a mirror image of Hemingway's principle: men are present here, but in supporting roles - with all the good and evil of this world, my heroines cope on their own without their mediation, taking the story directly on themselves, with their whole body, as part of everyday life.
