Yevgeny Vodolazkin is the author of the novels Lavr, The Aviator, Solovyov and Larionov, Brisbane, the collections of short prose The House and the Island, or the Instrument of Language, and Going Restlessly, winner of the Big Book, Yasnaya Polyana and Book of the Year awards. In the book "Sister of the Four" he acts in a new role for himself as a playwright.
"Between prose and dramaturgy - if not an abyss, then the impressive size of the ravine. Overcome it dares a rare bird. The prose writer has many different tools, and one of them is the speech of the characters. The playwright has the only one. Yes, an orchestra can express more than a violin, but there are things that in its loneliness only the violin can convey. This book is not an attempt to overcome the proverbial ravine. In my dramaturgical experiments I remain a prose writer, and the characters in these texts bear the generic stains of prose: they prefer the word to the action". Evgeny Vodolazkin FUNGI. There are no inexplicable things in the world. (Takes out a bottle of vodka from his backpack.) If you think well, you will find an explanation for everything. (Puts two tin cups on the bedside table and pours vodka into them.) WRITER. Wow! FUNGIES. It wasn't wow-it was wow when I moved in here. But day after day, indulging in thought, I drank a considerable portion of it unnoticed. And now I suggest we drink the rest. We must face the virus head on! What does literature say on this subject? WRITER. Literature has no objection.
