Longing for the outskirts. Sopikova A.S.

Five stories from the life of a girl-girl-woman. “And no pink childhood” in the poor province of the beginning of the zero, teenage experiments of unanswered love and love, moving to the capital, first work and first marriage... The main character child dreams of how he will once grow up and become happy - but growing up is turned out to be disappointed, expectations turn out to be far from reality, and previously hated by the outskirts, home and childhood turn into the only place in which you can only get bored.

“The author constantly refers to the classics - and at the same time lifts it to the pitchfork.”

Elena Vasilieva, “reading”

“Longing for the outskirts” - generation prose.

This is the literature of the inner world, not external circumstances. Sopikova launches the flywheel of time - the page of the book is growing page and the barely noticeable, but not slipping from the attentive look of the era’s signs: the nineties, zero, tenths... All that we remember so well. And heroes who are difficult not to associate with themselves.
