About this listen
"Давным-давно, на исходе прошлого тысячелетия, я переступила порог – жизненный, судьбинный: уехала в другую страну, оказавшись, как Робинзон Крузо, на острове иной жизни. И принялась его обживать – сурово, мужественно и отчаянно; временами – растерянно. Остров назывался Израиль.
Жизнь вокруг творилась какая-то дикая: смешная и муторная, героическая и восхитительная разом; объяснить ее, как-то растолковать людям посторонним… казалось совершенно невозможным. Можно было только описать ее скрупулезно, последовательно, шаг за шагом, смешно и страшно. Вокруг меня клубилась какая-то гомерическая реальность: русское радио, русские газеты, мелкий паршивый русский бизнес. Родные знакомые завзятые мошенники. Это с одной стороны. С другой стороны, на нас наваливалась и крутила, как щепку в водовороте, новая жизнь с ее реалиями, лицами и интересами. С ее законами и моральными установками, с ее армией и полицией, с ее святыми и праведниками, с ее бандитами и политиканами. С ее неизбывной памятью о шести миллионах замученных…"
Я описала всю эту жизнь в своем первом романе Вот идет Мессия!... И пока писала его (и сейчас, когда – спустя тридцать лет – его начитывала), заново прожила все свои тогдашние страхи, восторг и хохот, свою печаль, свою молодость. И любовь, конечно. Ибо – что вся наша жизнь без любви? – Дина Рубина

Story
Ты что, маньяк? Этот вопрос врач-психиатр Гуревич все время слышит ото всех вокруг. Не умеет он сидеть спокойно, не высовываться, не лезть «не в свое дело», вечно норовит кого-то спасти, кому-то помочь, поставить всех на уши – за что и получает с незавидной регулярностью. И ничему-то его жизнь не учит, ну точно маньяк какой-то! В жизни и практике психиатра Гуревича – множество смешных и драматических, трогательных и нелепых, грустных и гомерически смешных историй.

Эта повесть, в которой нет ни одного матерного слова, должна бы выйти под грифом +18, а лучше +60:- ибо все в ней настолько обнажено и беззащитно, цинично и пронзительно интимно, что во многих сценах краска стыда заливает лицо и плещется в сердце.

"Вот вы говорите – идеальная любовь… Для меня идеальная любовь – это сильное духовное потрясение. Независимо от того, удачно или неудачно она протекает и чем заканчивается. Я полагаю, что чувство любви всегда одиноко. Даже если это чувство разделено. Ведь и человек в любых обстоятельствах страшно одинок.

Story
"Моя личная родня была неистова и разнообразна. Чертовски разнообразна касательно заскоков, фобий, нарушений морали, оголтелых претензий друг к другу. Не то чтобы гроздь скорпионов в банке, но уж и не слёзыньки Господни, ох нет. С каждым из моей родни, говорила моя бабка, "беседовать можно, только наевшись гороху!"" — утверждает писательница. В эпоху, когда писатели любой ценой стараются захватить внимание читателя шокирующими и даже леденящими сюжетами; в эпоху повсеместных фейков, утраты доверия друг к другу и забытья самих себя.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.
