Valerian Pidmogilny wanted to write a novel in which a woman would be the master of the ship. And he wrote A Little Drama" - a novel about new relationships, new life, new morality and eternal questions that arise in the unexpected surprises of the age of technological progress. Crazy irrational passion or a cold rational calculation - who will emerge victorious in a duel? Is victory possible at all, if both love and suffering are just standard reactions of a squirrel? Podmohylyny masterfully plays out a small drama on the chamber stage, the name of which is life. This is one of the best philosophical novels in Ukrainian literature 20th century."
