Liudmilla Petrushevskaia is one of the best known writers in Russia
today, recognized for her versatility as a dramatist, scriptwriter,
and author of harrowing contemporary stories and even of
fairytales. Acclaimed for he shocking portraits of the pain and
loss that distinguish the life of women in Russia and the old
Soviet Union, Petrushevskaia has also created texts notable for
their scandalous humor and vibrant plasticity of form.
This study analyses her use of genres within the context of an
overall description of her ouevre. Her texts deal with stories
struggling to be told even in today's Russia. Her characters are
all storytellers, but the truths they attempt to express are often
too terrible to be voiced aloud, and their tales are ultimately
told from within a vast silence that threatens to engulf the
narrative.
