Abstract
Over the last few years, the work of Liudmila Ulitskaia, author of Sonechka, Medea and Her Children [Medeia i ee deti], and The Funeral Party [Veselie pokhorony], has become one of the most vivid manifestations of modern prose writing, which has attracted both readers and critics. But this interview with the celebrated writer is doubly interesting, having been conducted by a very young writer who, unlike Ulitskaia, is counter-traditional. Anastasiia Gosteva (her debut was a book of poems, Blind Water-Colors [Slepye akvareli, 1993]), which quickly attracted the attention of the reading public; her novellas, The Samurai's Daughter [Doch' samuraia] and Travel Lamb [Travel agnets], which were published in leading journals, revealed a new and bold literary individuality. So what we have is not a neutral series of questions and answers but an internally intense exchange between a "youngster" and "oldster" of contemporary prose.
