The girl Katya lives with her parents in a small town on the 11th floor of an ordinary panel house. In Katya's world, a sharp-nosed snake appears from a factory pipe, spots on the ceiling turn into human figures, and columns of numbers are folded into poems. But the world around Katya does not need her: the "ungrown" tease, and the "grown" have no strength and time for her. And Katya finds a way out for herself. But then intervenes Kikimora, who lives behind the stove in the kitchen... Together they go on a dangerous journey, and unwittingly surpass the cruelty of those who maimed them. "Kalechina-Malechina" is a novel about despair and misunderstanding, about the search for sympathy and mercy, about the fact that it is easy to become a monster - if no one loves you. The heroine of "Kalechina-Malechina" is both Russian Holden Caulfield and such a small, still inebriated Venichka. But Holden had his nonconformism, and Venichka had a woman on the platform in Petushki and the angels of heaven. And Katya had no one! And then - Kikimora. Evgenia Nekrasova
