Biography
Karine Harutyunova was born on September 26, 1963 [1] in Kiev [2] into an Armenian - Jewish family [3] .
In 1994 she emigrated to Israel . Since 2008, lives in Tel Aviv and Kiev [2] .
In 2009, the Kiev publishing house "Nairi" released the first book of Karine Arutyunova (under the pseudonym Merche) "Angel Hoffmann and others."
In 2011, in a “blind tasting” of the Russian Book Union , in which nine experts from St. Petersburg publishing houses “blindly” assessed the quality of the artistic language of the texts of eight writers, Karine Arutyunova with the story “Fora” took third place, losing to Sergei Dovlatov (the story “Jacket by Fernand Leger ”) And Alice Khantsis (a fragment of the novel“ And roses wither in the heat of January ”) and overtaking Zakhar Prilepin (a fragment of the story“ Zhilka ”), Tatyana Dagovich (a fragment of the novel“ Cell 402 ”), Boris Akunin (a fragment of the novel“ Fantasy ”, Tatyana Ustinov (Otry wok from the novel “Always say always”), Kirill Benediktov (a fragment of the novel “Blockade”). Arutyunova also “surpassed” Leo Tolstoy by writing a 16-line sentence and putting 36 dashes and 68 commas in it [4] .
Viktor Toporov wrote in 2012 about Karine Arutyunova:
| Arutyunova is inherent in that rare and therefore doubly valuable quality, characteristic, first of all, of genuine artists, which Mandelstam called the "predatory eye" <...>. It is, of course, not about the “perspective” that is taught in the drawing circles, and not about the “proportions,” but about the conscious - and consciously predatory - neglect of both. Moreover, the palette of Arutyunova is colored, but not some innocent Prussian blue prevails here, but a rough ocher. Both books have demonstrative titles: “Ashes of the Red Cow” - the first and “Say Red” - the second <...>. A half-Armenian, half-Jewish, Arutyunova left from the colorful, but always colorful, native Kiev to the flashy-red Tel Aviv, returned to Kiev - and now she published a book in granite-gray Petersburg - to the surprise of all of Europe, as she would certainly joke Pushkin . To surprise and envy. Arutyunova’s stories - geographically and metaphysically repeating the outline of her wanderings - at first glance may seem psychological etudes (partly in the Israeli part - and linguistic etudes: here, using the Russian language, Hebrew , Yiddish and Ladino are masterfully recreated), but this is not so. Before us, I repeat, first of all, poems in prose [3] . |
