Translated by Marian Schwartz.
Grisha spends his time in the Moscow puppet theater where his parents work, a refuge from his homophobic classmates. He's in awe of Sam, a young actor, but Sam is leaving Russia and Grisha is dejected. Grisha's first-person, present-tense narrative voice is graceful and dreamlike. This story of unrequited love showcases the dramatic arts as means of self-expression and self-discovery.
