Evgenia Nekrasova is a writer, one of the founders of the School of Literary Practices, a laureate of the "Lyceum" award for the prose cycle "Unhappy Moscow" and the "Strannik/NOS" award for the novel "Kozha" (Skin). Her debut novel "Kalechina-Malechina" and the collection of stories "Sestromam" were shortlisted for the NOS award. Many of Nekrasova's texts have been adapted into plays, including the story "Kumutkan" from the collection "Domovaya Lyubov" (House Love) directed by Svetlana Zemlyakova.
"Domovaya Lyubov" consists of stories, novellas, and poems about finding one's place, overcoming loneliness, and breaking established norms, an artistic exploration of home and family. Like in her previous books, folklore motifs are woven into the depiction of Russian everyday life.
"Nekrasova's characters seem to have been living their own separate lives for a long time: plays are staged based on her texts, art is created, songs are written. The magic of Zhenya's plots, in my opinion, lies in her acceptance of this world in all its beauty and imperfections, showing both fragile and remarkably resilient characters as equally strong and important. And just in case, Nekrasova reminds us: even when it seems like all is lost, there is always room for the miraculous and unexplainable." - Valeria Martynova, book blogger and audiobook narrator
"Nekrasova's heroines speak with ancient deities and rename the world around them, in other words, they build and reshape it to suit themselves. They have no privileges, no one to rely on. Perhaps that is their strength." - Oksana Vasyakina, poet
"Magical realism has deceived us. It's time for magical pessimism." - Yegor Mikhaylov, Afisha Daily
