"Good People. A Narrative in Portraits" is a heartfelt story by Anastasia Kovalenkova, an ode to love for the people and the country that "cannot be measured with a common yardstick." "Our" people can easily both caress and scold. They are wise and foolish, kind and sometimes gloomy... But still, so close. These are good people. Tatyana Tolstaya: ""Good People" is a city dweller's story about a village near Moscow. This village is not dying, it is alive and changing. It is home to a variety of complex people. Without stereotypes. True, complex. Kovalenkova's prose is traditional, but with a fresh language. Calm, human, intelligent intonation. Good humor. Even voice. A good human scale. Subtle details. You read and involuntarily wait: where is the hysteria, where is the neurasthenia? But there will be none. And good." Zakhar Prilepin, from a letter: "Nastya, I read the first chapters of your story. You're a truly accomplished author; the chapter 'Pirates of the Ravines' is a small masterpiece. If I were you, I'd write a longer, more serious story about all these village types. Humor, observation, and, most importantly, love for your characters—you have it all."
