Ulitskaya – best traditions of realism in Russian literature

Recently I stayed at a hotel belonging to Loews network – a large network of good hotels. In the evening I went to the SPA and in between going in and out of the sauna I was looking through a pretty interesting corporate magazine. Randomly saw an article about the best three writers in the world that are recommended to be read. The first one in the list was J.M.G.Le Clezio, Nobel laureate for literature in 2008. Second place was Lyudmila Ulitskaya with her novel «Medea and Her Children». According to one American expert, Ulitskaya’s works are elegant prose in the best traditions of realism in the Russian literature. It is pleasant to hear that modern Russian writers are one of the best in the world.
