Close Encounters with Mixed Feelings
"Close Encounters with Mixed Feelings" doesn't fit a particular genre. It is neither a novel nor a documentary or a autobiography. The stories collected here are versatile and incompatible - just at first sight. This book contains journalistic articles, portraits and essays published in various media over the past ten years. Equally, the book includes self-contained texts that reveal the context, the history or the effect of their public appearance. Honestly and very personally.
