被「出版人週刊」譽為當代最好的俄國在世作家之一
"ONE OF THE FINEST LIVING RUSSIAN WRITERS"---PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Reviews:
«One of the finest living Russian writers... Her signature black humor and matter-of-fact prose result in an insightful and sympathetic portrait of a family in crisis».---Publishers Weekly

«Petrushevskaya is a strikingly original author».---The Guardian

«Told in an intimate, loose, over-the-back-fence style, this is an alternately funny and desperate book — a welcome introduction to a strong talent».---Kirkus Review

«The writing is beautifully controlled and the spirit large... She deserves a wide readership».---TLS

«A wonderfully talented and significant writer».---John Bayley

«THE TIME NIGHT is one of the most powerful books on poverty that has ever been written».---Amazon.com

«Petrushevskaya writes with humour, and has an obliqueness of style and unexpectedness of form that give the reader a sense of having found something unusual and unfamiliar».---Sunday Times

«These stories [IMMORTAL LOVE] sound sad, but they are unnerving rather than melancholy, dryly amusing at times».---The Observer

«Epic writing from a great author».---The Big Issue

«Petrushevskaya’s novel is a crushingly intense account of one woman’s struggle for survival in late Communist Russia».---Booklist

«There’s a strong sense of life’s capricious cruelties, but also of feisty resignation».---The Independent on Sunday

«For all their obvious Russian-ness, her characters face dilemmas that belong to us all. They are erring, comical, pitiful, courageous creatures, full of hope and desire – and all doomed to die».---Cosmopolitan

«This wry American debut, shortlisted for the Russian Booker Prize, is highly recommended for all fiction collections».---Library Journal

«[The stories] that make up this collection [IMMORTAL LOVE] are strange and deceptive, each one a gem of quiet rhetoric and writerly control. <…> These are tales of circumstance, appearance, and individuals».---New Statesman and Society

«Petrushevskaya takes the reader on an unforgettable journey into the domestic hell where there is too little of everything: too little food, too little space, too little love. THE TIME NIGHT provides a memorable glimpse into the dark side of life. Written in a stark, naturalistic style, the book brings the reader face to face with the harsh reality of life in Russia. It is not often a pleasant site, but it is one well worth the trouble».---The Moscow Times
