( ) Anna, whose full name sounds very much like a famous Russian poet (she's practically her namesake!), is trying to make a living as a writer and poet, while keeping her family fed and under control. Her elderly mother is demented or psychotic, her daughter keeps getting pregnant by different men (Anna already looks after six year-old Tima, the oldest of her grandchildren), and her son is just out of prison (and his "friends" are looking for him - the ones that he owes money to). In an engaging, spirited voice, laced with irony and a dark wit, Anna tells us her story, which is both familiar and foreign. She's tough, fierce, and exhausted. Published in 1992, her tale exposes the (then) contemporary struggle of many Russians, particularly women, in sitcom fashion. Yes, I found it darkly funny, but ultimately heartbreaking. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

First published in Russia in 1992, The Time: Night is a darkly humorous depiction of the Soviet utopia's underbelly by one of the most brilliant stylists in contemporary Russian literature. Anna Andrianova is a trite poet and disastrous parent. Heading a household dominated by women, she can cling to the myth of the all-powerful yet suffering Russian matriarch. Challenging that myth is her headstrong daughter Alyona, a woman with appalling judgment and several illegitimate children, who both needs Anna and hates her.
