The book "Zolotinka. Stories and poems about women, bears and magical creatures" - these are new texts in the usual manner of Nekrasova: melodious, image-rich language and a special ability in a mesmerizing timeless intonation to talk about what is exciting here and now. Scary tales about how only one can dilute the darkness of dark times with one's own light.
Evgenia Nekrasova's voice is unrecognizable: she weaves the folklore into the everyday, and this man-made pattern rhythmically and smoothly flows on the homespun cloth of Central Russian life. Her heroines are the Man's wife, the Man's mother, the Man's daughter, and how many other roles can be played by the woman for whom the Russian language has not found a viable feminitive for the word "man". This woman with many faces, lives and essences from childhood divides events into logical and illogical, right and wrong, beautiful and not beautiful, she thinks with her heart and suffers with her mind. Almost every heroine by birthright has the default settings of obeying, pity, patience, silence, care and "bake, like a baking oven, children" sewn in. And everyone is able to learn to decide for themselves, to choose their own destiny.
