About the author

Tatyana Tolstaya

56 books297 followers
Tatyana Tolstaya (Татьяна Толстая) was born in Leningrad, U.S.S.R. As the great-grandniece of the Russian author Leo Tolstoy and the granddaughter of Alexei Tolstoy, Tolstaya comes from a distinguished literary family; but, according to Marta Mestrovic's interview in Publishers Weekly with the author, she hates ‘‘being discussed as a relative of someone.’’

Still, Tolstaya's background is undeniably one of culture and education. Her father was a physics professor who taught her two languages, and her maternal grandfather was a well-known translator.

Не видь я ни единожды Т. Толстую до прочтения сборника, представляла бы её себе, думаю, абсолютно реалистично. Обычно все наоборот, но тут суровость и в языке, и налицо :D

По меркам псевдо-обывательской косноязычности, каковой имею честь обладать, вполне приличный для публицистических текстов язык, но "задоринка" граничит с "червоточинкой", ядовитенько эдак ... :)

Имхо, публицистика - талант автора, полет фантазии, увы, не окупился.

В целом, нет глупого ощущения впустую потраченного времени, если сборник "на любителя", то любого русскоязычного можно звать "начинающим".
