Chernaya babochka

«CHernaya babochka» - sbornik virtuoznoy korotkoy prozy samogo ekstravagantnogo sovremennogo klassika Lyudmily Petrushevskoy. Ne zrya za ney zakrepilsya etot status: kak vse proslavlennye v vekah bol'shie pisateli, Petrushevskaya issleduet global'nye temy zhizni, smerti i lyubvi - obernuv ih v bytovye vrode by istorii. CHerez etu obertku material'noy zhizni, cherez gustoe mnogogolos'e obychnyh lyudey i ih obychnyh problem prostupaet neudobnaya pravda o chelovecheskoy prirode vo vsey ee zamyslovatoy protivorechivosti. No vot v chem podvoh: ne uspeesh' oglyanut'sya - gran' mezhdu real'nost'yu i irreal'nost'yu istonchaetsya i ischezaet, i vot uzhe teni mertvyh berut polnomochiya v mire zhivyh. CHas v chas umershiy poyavlyaetsya na kartine v muzee, a chernaya babochka predskazyvaet rokovuyu sud'bu, i kak zhe teper' imet' s etim delo obychnomu cheloveku v ego obychnom mire?
