“I tried to fill the void with vocabulary.”
Olga Grjasnowa, All Russians Love Birch Trees

“I, too, did nothing except click through the entire Internet.”
Olga Grjasnowa, All Russians Love Birch Trees

“Sometimes, when he got home from work he took me up to the roof. There he set up a telescope and explained the constellations to me, whispered their names into my ear, as if we were the only two people who knew those names, as if they were a secret between us. I felt his warm breath, smelling of almonds, and if father had a drink before, he'd bring me to bed, let me change into my nightgown, give me a kiss, his beard stubble brushing against my cheek, and stroke my hair. Then he'd lay his hand on the radiator just as gently as he had touched my head earlier and leave the room.”
Olga Grjasnowa, All Russians Love Birch Trees
