The novel of Nadezhda Antonova is a journey of memory by the death of his father, a picture of life, real and imaginary, which are somehow connected with parents, their way.
The book of a large loss, turning around the search for light and peace.
The poetic manner of Antonova’s letter creates a sense of poem in prose. Reading meditative, calm and immersing in the world of childhood, growing up and accepting life.
Poet Dmitry Vodennikov about the novel From the Father Nadezhda Antonova:
“Each text has its beginning. The text of Nadezhda Antonova (where essays and fixed rhymes with the diary records of her father) begins at once at three points: the past, present and fake, which Antonova creates to force himself and the reader to be ashamed and surprised, chuckled and fed, sometimes yearn.
Roman "from the father" begins with a children"s counting, written, by the way, to one of my seminars:
Dad came out of the fog, took out a secret from his pocket.
Drink dead water, the dying bridge cross.
There, behind the ghostly city, the secret will meet you.
We do not understand at first, what a secret it is, why such an awkward rhyme in the second line, why cross the dying bridge and what kind of mountain is there. And it was then that this game draws us. The game that the author calls Roman-Account. Have you seen the posters at the funeral due? They tell what will happen next, they turn to the departed, and sometimes to the one who was going to conduct it. And there is one condition: you have to cry honestly, as if by itself. You will cooperate, and the crying will break, it will not shoot.
In this dialogue with the dead father there is everything, including lies. They did not finish, did not finish, did not get, did not get laugh. But do not worry, dad, I will now add, live. And I will lie, of course: artistic reality has its own truth. Remember the day when we buried you? I almost forgot how you really look. But we, readers, remember. This is the main honest secret of living text. ”
Denis Osokin, writer, screenwriter:
“Roman Nadezhda Antonova "from the father from the very beginning goes on his feet. There are children that you cannot hold. Artistic text is children, that is, a child. If you go with him, it will certainly happen good: you will meet someone or, as Antonova writes, the secret will meet you. And a secret is always an opportunity, a conversation with a providence. So the author’s text came out mysterious: understandable, on the one hand-we also know what it means to stand next to death-and in a good way difficult, with dead and living water, with an internal event. And this is important that not only the tangible thing happens, but also intangible. In order not for one day, but on a long road. ”
