Monologues
"Monologues" is a collection of confessions. Stories shared by different people - teenagers, loners, people who fell out of the public eye and became transparent to others. Dialogues we have with ourselves.
In this solitary form of self-expression, the author is just a precise conduit. She listens, hears and transmits. She diligently reflects and keeps her fantasy subordinate to other people's recognition.
These monologues do not tolerate the author's flirting - if they sense it, the speakers stop being sincere. This book was born with the idea of being a scene. A platform for those we listen to so little although they have so much to tell us...
