Petrushevskaya has referred to Russia as "a land of female Homers". She presumably means two things: that everyday life in Russia is an epic journey in itself, and that Russian women have a particular gift for telling their stories.Petrushevskaya herself has an extraordinary sense of the importance of story-telling. These stories are not simply stories of everyday life in Russia during the seventies and eighties; they are stories about the importance of the stories we are all constantly telling: stories we tell in order to survive or to help others survive, stories we make up to protect ourselves from truth, stories we make up to protect others from truth, apparently banal stories that fail to conceal tragedy...
