Maya Kucherskaya is a prose writer, philologist, author of the books "Aunt Motya", "You Were Completely Different", "Crying for the Departed Drawing Teacher", "God of Rain", as well as a biography "Leskov. The Squandered Genius". Creator of the program "Literary Craftsmanship" at the Higher School of Economics and the Creative Writing School workshops.
"Modern Paterik" is a collection of funny and sad, funny and touching stories from the lives of modern Orthodox believers. Stories that follow the traditions of Leskov and Boccaccio in their plots and language, stylized as sermons, magical tales, and playing with "scary stories" from children's folklore...
"A true (for example, Kiev-Pechersk) paterik is a completely serious and documentary genre. And its goals are high - to lead a person to God.
This collection should be classified in a completely different category - the category of elegant literature. Yes, there are individual historical characters here, but even about them the author tells tall tales. And for those who, at all costs, will want to find a den of an Orthodox hedgehog in a remote Russian province or try miracle-apples from a garden grown by angels, I'm afraid it won't be easy".
