В поисках окончательного мужчины

For some reason, it is generally accepted that Don Juanism is the lot of men alone. Seduce and achieve, achieving - to cool down and hear how the worm of satiety digs its course inside. Leave, destroy someone else's life and not be responsible for anything, because love knows neither laws nor morals. Don Juan of Galina Shcherbakova - women. It is they who hunt for men, go out to "graze in the meadows", running away from the once and for all painted order of life. Especially - in Russia, especially - at the time of early perestroika. It is they who exchange apartments and turn the notion of the primacy of youth in amorous affairs upside down. But what is behind this "freedom"? Rape in adolescence, the damage to communal life with sick old parents that no hospital will take, the impossibility of defeating the System, which is ready to send even a disabled son to the army ... Freedom turns into revenge for an unhappy past, but the past cannot be changed. And the price of peace is only forgiveness. The new collection of Galina Shcherbakova's prose includes two novels - "In Search of the Ultimate Man" (previously published under the title "Army of Lovers") and "At the Feet of Recumbent Women".
