The Briefcase When you finish reading The Briefcase by Hiromi Kawakami, you’ll be left with mixed feelings. And not in the sense of whether the book is well written or not—stylistically, it absolutely is. The confusion is more emotional: you won’t be sure whether you’re supposed to feel happy, sad, nostalgic, lonely, or something entirely…
Three Tiny Vials “Good afternoon, what would you like to drink?” She’s sweet. A slim blonde, maybe twenty-three, twenty-four at most. Probably works here part-time when she needs to, just enough to cover rent when it’s tight. I looked into her eyes and smiled politely. “A coffee would hit the spot right now. But I’ll…
The Last Samurai “I dreamed… I was leading a small army of great warriors. And my soldiers entered a great battle. One of the opponents was a tiger, surrounded on all sides by my great warriors. However, the wounded beast showed the heart of a true samurai, so strong that not one of my warriors…

And the worst kind, as if someone turned the shower on full blast. And all of it accompanied by gloomy, depressing weather. So depressing that even…
Perfect Surprise As you may have noticed from the book reviews, I don’t easily pick up domestic writers of the “newer generation” (in terms of publication period, not their ages :D) and few of them have left any “wow” impression on me so far. There are exceptions, of course, like the first book reviewed on…
Birds of Prey Sometimes I wonder what’s really going on with the people who make DC movies, what goes through their heads… Constant creative conflicts, changing actors due to financial/scheduling/personal disagreements, a large number of cut scenes from movies that apparently change the very dimensions of the films (Snyder’s director’s cut version of “Batman vs…
The Ideal Team Player Looking at the topic covered by the book “The Ideal Team Player,” as well as the fact that it’s quite connected to my job, for a change we’ll have a somewhat more serious and professional review, but I hope not a boring one, although my subconscious won’t participate much today, and…
The Wolf of Wall Street Ugh, where to start… you might not believe me, but I still haven’t watched the film “The Wolf of Wall Street”! The reason is this book. I wanted to read it first. I’ve had it for years, but I kept putting off reading it, even though everyone praises the book…
