Several years ago, quite spontaneously, I began publishing literary profiles of Georgian poets and prose writers on a literature forum. I didn’t have any clear plan or ambition at the time, but worked with enthusiasm, without any deadlines, choosing those writers who I found interesting. Later the profiles moved to the periodicals, such as Arili, Literaturuli Palitra and Saunje. Suddenly I discovered I had quite a number of them, about very different writers of different generations. That is when I decided to publish them as a book. (From the author’s introduction)
