Life
Utkin studied Russian history at Lomonosov University in Moscow . After graduating, he studied dramaturgy and directing at the Russian Academy of Theater Arts . In 1996 Utkin became known to a wider readership when the novel Khorovod (Хоровод- "Ringelreihen") appeared in the magazine Nowy Mir . This novel tells about the life and adventures of young aristocrats in the 19th century. It was released in 1996 and was shortlisted for the Russian Booker Prize.
In addition, the manuscript Autodidakten was published in 1998, and this novel was translated into German in the same year. Russian literary criticism describes this novel as the quintessence of the intellectual situation in Russian society at the turn of the millennium, and Utkin himself is praised as one of the most talented authors of the younger generation. In 2004 Anton Utkin received the prize for important debut works in Russian literature "Yasnaya Polyana", named after the memorial for Lev Tolstoy and awarded by the poet's great-grandson. The literary critic Regina Károlyi said of this book: "A remarkable novel that describes with apparent ease Russia after perestroika and explores some of the depths of human nature".
His books and stories are currently translated into German, Chinese, French and Serbo-Croatian. There are two film adaptations of his essay: Weggenosse von Feigen 2003 ( Попутчики инжира ), and "Südkalender" ( Южный календарь ), 2010. He directed five documentary films.
