The narration moves from apparent realism to other genres; from crime fiction or thriller to erotic prose. Memories, intimations and premonitions are infused in these stories with a tranquillity that accepts what fate brings, even when efforts are made to change it, as in the stories \u003cem\u003ePockets Full of Stones\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eNosedive\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLengold uses eroticism as a natural ingredient of human life, as an integrated tension consisting of two inseparable aspects - body and soul - energising stories like \u003cem\u003eLove Me Tender, Zugzwang, Wanderings, \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e Aurora Borealis. \u003c\/em\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eFairground Magician\u003c\/em\u003e, Lengold is a lucid observer of minute details and subtle emotional shifts. In stories like \u003cem\u003eIt Could Have Been Me\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eShadow\u003c\/em\u003e, or \u003cem\u003eOphelia, Get Thee to a Nunnery\u003c\/em\u003e, she manages to leap over the wall between the bodily surface and the human interior in a very distinctive way. No matter how common are the situations she depicts - whether it be broken marriages, unfulfilled expectations or the motives of forlorn lovers - Lengold is constantly searching for the authentic, finding it within the sophisticated irony which is a trademark of her fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJelena Lengold \u003c\/strong\u003eis a storyteller, novelist and poet.
