1. First-hand. Tatyana Nikitichna Tolstaya unexpectedly spoke in the first person, which did not do in artistic prose before. We have the opportunity to listen to the legendary “Kirov” apartment in Karpovka and the life of the heirs of Russian literature easily and in a neighborly way: Tolstaya is the granddaughter of Alexei Tolstoy and Mikhail Lozinsky, her mother is the goddaughter Nikolai Gumilyov, and her intonation is exemplary and blessed-simplicity and dignity.

2. Talent to live. Tolstoy has a special, no more like talent for anyone else. No matter what lyrical prose she wrote, no matter what light worlds promise, fat still details, textured and circumstance. As if he knows how normal (not perverted, not tortured, not neurotic) the world. They cook jam and remove the ironed shirts in the chest of drawers, wear a scarf because they go, and store firewood in a wood shed, a person has the right to life, comfortable furniture and delicious food, for beautiful things and tissue -pleasant to the body, in good weather and safety, and in it shoe stores do not send ads in verse. It seems that we almost do not know such a world.
