Pavlo Pashtet Belianskyi writes short but insightful stories about life and death through the eyes of a funeral service worker. Pavlo wrote the book after several years of working at a cemetery as a co-owner of a monument-making company. The sketches about the living and the dead, about incredible love and unbearable pettiness, about resentment and forgiveness leave no one indifferent. The filigree style, sincerity, and realism of the narrative do not let the reader go until the last page.
The collection is the basis for the movie I Work at the Cemetery, for which Beliansky also wrote the screenplay.
Now Pavlo "Pashtet" is fighting in one of the brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a senior rifleman of an assault company.
