Ne vycherkivai menia iz spiska [Don't Cross Me Off Your List]

My personal family was wild and diverse. It’s damn diverse in terms of quirks, phobias, moral violations, and rabid claims against each other. It’s not like a bunch of scorpions in a jar, but it’s not like tears of God, oh no. With each of my relatives, my grandmother said, ‘you can talk only after eating peas!’ ‘Don’t cross me off the list.’ A collection of family stories, which contains already familiar works, as well as new stories and short stories. Dina Rubina writes about family and friends with humor, self-irony, optimism, figuratively and emotionally.
