The project of Novaya Gazeta and Anna Narinskaya is opened in quarantine. One day - one story

From the editorial office
The story is a largely underestimated literary genre today. Moreover, underestimated by publishers and readers. Every day we will lay out one story selected by Anna Narinskaya, with her small introductory word. Stories of different authors. Different times. Different genres. Different moods. One day is one story.

Anna Narinskaya

Literary critic, columnist of Novaya Gazeta

Vladimir Sorokin "Michen"

- It is terribly important, it seems to me to realize that you are a contemporary of a big, no, a real writer (the outdated word “great” will leave literature teachers). Not a prophet (at least in this case without this), not a wise guy, but a writer.

From the whole array of Sorokin’s stories I wanted to choose the one where his literary skill was most showed.
