Soup without meatballs. Leontyeva T.

Tatyana Leontyeva debuted in the literature in 2016 by the novel “One and a half kilograms of salt”. The new book includes stories written over the past eight years.

Having moved from the province to St. Petersburg in the early 2000s, the storyteller meets in her way of various people. Capital residents and visitors, millionaires and homeless people, students and marginals, eccentrics and “just people” - all of them are in the eternal movement to the best share. In the search for love and friendship, understanding and freedom, success and respect, the fate of the heroes develop, and the author knows how to reflect this fate in one short story through accurate details. There were cute, but it makes it different literature - the concise clarity of the language and living imagery. In these stories, as in life, the tragic is adjacent to ridiculous. More than once the reader will laugh more than once, according to Boris Minaev, “hesitates from the feeling of acute truth and the acute sadness of being.”
