Good people. The narrative in portraits. Kovalenkova A.S.

“Good people. The narrative in portraits ”is the penetrating story of Anastasia Kovalenkova, the ode of love for the people and the country, which“ not to measure the common arshin ”. “Our” people easily caress and scold. They are wise, stupid, and kind, and gloomy sometimes. But still such relatives. These are good people.

Tatyana Tolstaya: “Good people” is a story of a city man about the village near Moscow. This is the unwritten village, it is alive, changing. There are different complex people in it. Without stereotypes.

True, complex. Kovalenkova’s prose is like traditional prose, but with some fresh language. Calm, human, smart intonation. Good humor. A flat voice. Good human scale. Thin details. You read and involuntarily wait: where is the tantrum, where is neurasthenia? And they will not be. And good. ”

Zakhar Prilepin, from the letter:“ Nastya, read the first chapters of your story. You are a completely held author, the head of the Pirates of the Ravors is a small masterpiece. In your place I would write a large, serious story about all these types of rustic. Humor, observation and, most importantly, love for your characters - you have all this. "
