Kate loves Alf. And Alf loves Kate... Doesn't he?

Kate can't wait for her long-term boyfriend Alf to propose.

When her thirty-second birthday ends in humiliating, proposal-less disaster, even Kate is left wondering if Alf really is The One. Then Alf's friend, Marcus, needs a place to stay. With his dark eyes, easygoing manner and...

In the late 1960s, the New Jersey projects stood like tattered, tired sentinels across the Newark skyline. Some saw them as eyesores; others called them home. Despite the comfort of familiarity, it certainly wasn't easy being poor and black in the projects in 1962. It's a good thing four young boys had each other.

Diesel, Bugs, Loony, and Larry are barely teenagers when they meet and become inseparable, bonded by poverty and race. They come of age in an environment they don't even realize is hostile. Summers are spent on adventures-sometimes legal, sometimes not, and many times not...

Outsiderzy, alkoholicy, wyłudzacze, kolekcjonerzy cudzych żyć, nieznośni sąsiedzi, niespełnieni kochankowie – to właśnie oni zaludniają rzeczywistość Kalina Terzijskiego. Obyczajowy obrazek sąsiaduje tu z przełamanym przekorną puentą symbolizmem, przed melancholią i powagą życia chronią zaś ironia i zgryźliwy humor.
Bohaterowie „Czy jest ktoś, kto cię kocha” przypominają nas samych tak bardzo, że być może lektura jest tylko złudzeniem i to my sami odgrywamy w opowiadaniach sofijskiego pisarza główne role. Bo przecież...
