Prose writer Elena Chizhova is a native Petersburger, the author of eight novels, including The Sinologist, The Terracotta Old Woman, Orestes and Son, and Lavra. In most of them, the action takes place in St. Petersburg, which determines both the atmosphere of the novels and the psychology of the characters. The novel "Women's Time" was awarded the "Russian Booker" prize, translated into fifteen languages and became a finalist for foreign prizes: the Central European "Angelus", the French "Rossica" and the Arabic Translators Prize (Cairo). It became the literary basis for performances at the Sovremennik Theater, the Bolshoi Theater named after G.A. Tovstonogov, the Omsk Drama Theater and the Magnitogorsk Theater. A.S. Pushkin. Leningrad, turn of 1950-1960s. A communal apartment where three lonely old women "from the former" live - Ariadna, Glikeria and Evdokia. By the will of fate, they become the closest people for a mute girl who "talks" to them with the help of her drawings. About that life, about her grandmothers, about the bygone, but not disappearing past, a grown-up girl, an artist, tells the story ... In the novel “Tsakhes Crumbs” there are memories of a girl from another era. Mid 1970s. Elite Leningrad school. Shakespearean tragedies are staged on the stage of the school stage. It seems that this world of high passions is not at all like the Soviet one, in which teachers and students live ... The novel received two literary awards: "Northern Palmyra" and the award of the magazine "Star".
