"Broken Heart" not what was called a coward: the author of the book "Go where it is scary" survived a massive attack on Lviv

The writer suggested why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was decided to strike the city that night by linking bombing with the traditional bookforum, which is taking place in Lviv these days. Lovless wrote about it on his Instagram page, sharing shots from Lviv. "The Russians are very bold, throwing explosives at mothers and children. They are waiting for the onset of the night to hide their shame," the author said.

Lovless explained why, in his opinion, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation attacked Lviv this night. He calls the bombing of the city "purposeful" and notes that it is these days that the city accepts many visitors in connection with the publishers forum. "They started their brave bombardment at 3. 50. now 7. 00. They are severely attacking Lviv on Saturday night when the city is accepting many additional visitors at the annual book forum. Books scare the bullies," the American said.

Lovless also called the Ukrainians brave, and added that being a guest here "very easy" because people are "very hospitable and kind". It is worth noting that the chef media "Social Culture" Anna Pogrebna on the night of a massive attack on Lviv reported on social networks, that with her in the shelter is the author "Go to where it is scary. " She noted that "he was not scared.

" In a comment for "Social Culture", Jim Luvles also commented on why in the summer of 2025 he did not come to Kiev for the planned event. He noted that he did not quite understand what had happened and reported that he received a letter of cancellation of the event and that the Ukrainian organizer of the event contacted him the day before. "I do not know what it went wrong on her part, but then I received a letter that it was reported that the event was canceled," Luvles explained.

At the same time, according to the author himself, he did not make the decision not to come to Kiev, despite the security situation. The current situation "broke the heart" of the lover. However, not because he was called "coward" after the news of cancellation of the event.

"I was not breaking my heart that I was called a coward, but long letters from people who wrote that they liked my book very much, but now they could no longer love it," the writer said, adding that he felt connected with the supporters who were waiting for his arrival.
