The collection “Changed Time” includes new works by Lyudmila Petrushevskaya, written in different genres. These are mystical stories, short stories about love and death, short stories, plays. One of the plays, “Beefem,” received an award at the “New Drama” festival and was successfully staged in Russia and abroad. All together, these are reflections on the secrets of the human soul. It seems that the author knows everything about his heroes, even what they do not suspect about themselves. Taking apart the “simple science” of behavior, Petrushevskaya, like no one else, is able to show the fragile boundary separating being and what is on the other side of it. The writer can even master the mysteries of time, because, like the heroes of this book, she masters “otherworldly possibilities” perfectly.
