'grüne Nachtigall und andere Novellen' Summary

The collection of these novellas is intended to introduce the poet Kusmin - who was actually a composer - to the listener. Kusmin's heroes are (almost) completely normal, likeable and loveable people. But due to small misunderstandings, which are mostly due to a lack of communication or tiny personal "quirks", they usually get into unusual situations through their own fault, and the reader tends to feel sorry for them. The author tells entertaining stories with a lot of empathy and a little irony, as we could experience them every day.
