Reading completely about the author - Dina Rubin is a modern prose writer, the author of popular novels, a winner and finalist of many literary awards. The memories of the hometown and life in it in the future formed the basis of the novel “On the Sunny side of the street”. The first story of the writer “Restless Nature”, created by her at 16, fell on the pages of the magazine “Youth”.

In the year, her story “When the snow will go? .. Later, the writer moved to Moscow, from where she emigrated to Israel in the year. There, she held the position of literary editor in the literary application of one of the Russian -speaking newspapers, and also continued literary activities. Dina Rubin about the first years in Israel: “It was, of course, it was not easy.

And the breakdowns were, and despair, and euphoria - everything is its turn. Now so much has been written about emigration and stress that she carries with herself - even the most prosperous emigration. And we had it very difficult: a writer and an artist in a country of a different language and other traditions, and a tiny daughter, yes, yes, yes And nothing in the pockets: everything that was acquired in Russia, I did not even believe that this happened to us She describes the works of real facts from her own biography, family traditions, as well as well -known historical events that are refracted in the fate of the heroes, with the help of brilliant images and manners of the presentation, turning everyday life into almost magical stories.

The Russian Canary trilogy was included in the short list of the Big Book Prize of the year. About working together with her husband Boris Karafelov: “We never worked“ jointly ”. In addition to the fact that joint work even in one type of art is an extremely rare successful co -authors, we can count on the fingers, we must not forget that Boris and I work in different types of creativity.

These are different materials, different views, and different“ gathers ”of the artist. Those little books, where are my books where There are not “joint projects” at all the drawings of his paintings, this is Boris’s reaction to some of my already written texts. Provence ”, in which there are 16 works by Boris - oil, watercolors, gouache ... But this merger happened because I decided to collect the creative result of our joint travels under one cover.

So the book "Windows" turned out. Two children: the eldest son - Dmitry was born to the year and his daughter - Eva Gassner was born in the year. Dina Rubin about the house, parents and family: “Parents got into Tashkent every her own way. Mother with a wave of evacuation, appeared to be a girl of seventeen years old, rushed to enter the university, terribly loved literature. She was asked strictly in the reception of her -“ Are you on philological or historical?

At night she worked as a guard at the weapon factory, sleeping at the day at the lectures that brilliant professors of Moscow and Leningrad universities evacuated to Tashkent. Winters of those military were monstrously frosted. Cardboard outlets of the shoes were tied with ropes. From hunger, the students were saved by nuts-a glass was worth some kind of penny. Then they did not know that they were terribly high -calorie.

In addition, in a student dining room they gave a grout. Both students and professors wore tin bowls and spoons in his briefcases ... Once, my eighteen -year -old mother accidentally changed his portfolios of the same, oilcloths with the famous Moscow professor who read the Middle Ages on his own textbook. With shame, she went to the teacher and said: "Professor, you accidentally took my briefcase and I am terribly ashamed: if you open it, you will find that there is nothing but a bowl and a spoon for a grout." The professor said to this: “If you opened mine, you would have seen the same thing.

I entered the art school where his peer taught the story - a very beautiful, funny girl ... So my parents met. The one has legends, quite literary. From one legend, I already concocted“ Plane Notes ” -“ Sunday Mass ”, which were published in Tortays, which were published in tolense. The 2nd issue of "Friendship of Peoples" and entered the book, published in the publishing house "Vagrius".And the "gypsy" legend of the mother’s relatives is still waiting in the wings.

Writing in a nutshell cannot be. It is painful romantic. I believe that on the segment - before and after the revolution - my ancestors were engaged in exactly what hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian Jews did: they traded a little, studied a little, and taught others a little. A mother’s great -grandfather was a religious person, respected and - judging by some of his statements, which are still cited in the family - unusually witty.

A great -grandfather for his father - a Warsaw cab, a man of unbridled rage, from which his grandfather at the age of fourteen fled from home and never remembered his family. From this, not too far, the ancestor is temper and the ability to spoil relations with people. My childhood, as well as youth and youth, and all subsequent life - in home crowding, literally: small apartments, where a growing person does not have his own corner.

One of the rooms is necessary - a workshop - for at first their father’s canvases are placed in all corners, then the husband. I wrote about all this in the story “The camera is coming! It is believed that some family psychologists can help in this. And I would even believe it if I had not been a witness to the decay of marriages from these very psychologists. Let's finally calculate the marriage of a great secret behind seven seven, and we will not look for the collisions and proposals in it.

We will simply be admired by the broken and decay. You have an assistant? But I remove and cook, I do everything that is supposed to do to my wife and mother of the family. I am generally seven-diverse, and by nature I love order, stable and reliable life, I love my many years of habits, I am annoyed when they put the cup in the wrong place, or someone sits in my chair ...

just like that bear from a fairy tale ... "" This is a house, habit, family way. I am extremely conservative in family matters - this is family. But if you mean - can I, instead of cooking, buying and brewing dumplings, and whether this is a universal disaster? I can not consider it. So another week has passed, and we are meeting for a long time. Today there will be no long preamble before the guest presentation.

Because I, or rather, with you, visiting a woman who not only I love very gently, but many of you, I dare to say, know very well and love very well - Dina Rubin. Dinochka, good evening. Dina Rubin further - DR: Good evening! BT: What do you think you have been loved by readers or less over the years? DR: Over the years, in general, they began to love more, because I got better.

But judging by the fact that I am somewhere constantly, like an eternal Jew, I speak ... W: How much do you, by the way, wander around America? DR: I reinforced America for a month and a half, and I used, in my opinion, all the transport that exists, it seems to me, on Earth, except bathyscaphe and horse-drawn transport. BT: What are you doing? Do you catch money? DR: I speak, including money.

And in general, something like that, I advertise my new romance.

W: Dean, I'm sorry, please, I'll kill you. Tell me, why do you advertise your romance? I know - not because I want to tell you that your books fly away like hot pies. You are all right with circulations. You are not enough? Do you want even more? There is no limit to perfection? DR: You know, it seems to me that this is inertia - I am used to performing. I got used to the fact that once every two years I appear in America that I am speaking.

This is my audience, this is my doping, by the way, too - because it is communication with a person, with people who read my books. W: The feedback is this? DR: This is feedback. I just want to tell that, of course, I was already completely stunned by this feedback, because I rejected a lot of performances. This morning I hear through the dream that the phone is ringing. Our friend, from whom we stopped-Julius Kitaevich, picked up the phone-and says to someone: “Well, I will give it.

I will try to convey to her. I don't know how it will turn out. Dina traveled a lot to America, began to speak English, and I don’t understand her. ” W: Dinochka, how many cities did you drive? DR: 27! W: Stun! DR: Yes! But this is not my record.
