Irina Deneschkina

Irina Deneschkina ( Russian Ирина Денежкина ; born October 31, 1981 in Sverdlovsk ) is a Russian writer .

Life

Deneschkina studied journalism at the University of Yekaterinburg. She was just twenty years old when her debut volume Komm (Дай Мне) was released. Deneschkina now lives in St. Petersburg. I was born in Yekaterinburg, an industrial city in the Urals. There aren't very many opportunities to disperse there. I spent my childhood with my grandmother, caught cats and dogs and locked them up. Yekaterinburg is a very quiet city.

Works

Her first book Дай Мне ( Come ), a collection of ten unvarnished and sensitively told stories, is about young people in the emotional confusion between eroticism, insecurity and violence in today's Russia. The book was a finalist in the 2002 Russian National Best Seller Award (Национальный бестселлер) and was only marginally defeated by the Putin-critical political thriller Mr. Hexogen (Господин Гексоген) by the nationalist Alexander Prokhanov (Александр Прохрох). Come has been translated into more than 30 languages.
