Maya Kucherskaya — prose writer, philologist, author of the books "Aunt Motya", "You Were Completely Different", "Lament for the Departed Drawing Teacher", "The God of Rain", as well as the biography "Leskov. The Overlooked Genius". Creator of the program "Literary Mastery"...
at the Higher School of Economics and writing workshops at the Creative Writing School.. "Modern Patericon" — is a collection of funny and sad, amusing and touching stories from the lives of modern Orthodox people. Stories in which the plots and language reflect the traditions of Leskov and Boccaccio, stylizations of sermons, fairy tales, and playfulness with "scary stories" from children's folklore.
"The real (for example, Kiev-Pechersk) Patericon — is a genre that is completely serious and documentary. And its goals are high – to bring a person to God. This collection should be classified altogether under a different department — the department of elegant literature. Yes, individual historical characters are present here, but even about them the author tells nonsensical tales. And those who desperately want to search for the burrow of an Orthodox hedgehog in a distant Russian province or try miracle apples from a garden grown by angels, I fear, will have a hard time."
