On a Trolleybus
Diana Ganc, Arnoldas Pričinas. Troleibusu (On a Trolleybus), Kaunas: Žalias kalnas, 2024. – 28 p.
Riding a trolleybus is part of everyday life for Rokas, who lives in the city. Each day, as he rides, the same views pass by the window, and the trolleybus is always crowded with people. But one day, the usual journey is not the same. Rokas keeps thinking about his grandmother. He used to visit her after getting off the trolleybus, and they would wait together in the evening for his mother to pick him up after work. What has happened to his grandmother, and where has Morkis, the cat who always sits on the windowsill, disappeared to? The author crafts a heartfelt and psychologically layered story, authentically conveying the emotions and worldview of a child through expressive details and subtle nuances.
