Basically, Russian Decameron - just more gruesome, and most stories start with "When we met, I was a young boy in my 30s and she was a beautiful, mature woman who recently celebrated her 13th birthday". The mini-novel about Natali and Sonya is so beautiful, it could be a whole book on its own. Some other stories are also amazing.

It's interesting to see how men written by women are like "guys are weird", and then men written by men are "he was the most deprived and repulsive creature to walk this planet"
