Marie-Christine Autant-Mathieu, The playwright Liudmila Petrushevskaia and the Soviet critic of the 1970's and 1980's. Liudmila Petrushevskaia is the author of many stories, poems, plays, children's books and screenplays, but, for a long time, she remained unknown to the Russian and Soviet public. She was not mentioned in the literary press before the mid-1970's, even though her first stories had been published at the end of the 1960's. At first, her plays (mainly one act plays), were staged by young professional or amateur groups, scattered throughout the country, which met in actors' studios or small theaters. Played before they were published, the works of Petrushevskaia were attacked before they were read and, frequently, even before they were seen. She acquired the reputation of a writer of "customs and manners" (bytopisatel') whose style was difficult. The critics also expressed distaste for the bleak atmosphere depicted in her works. Then, after having been "forgotten" during the 1970's and pulled to pieces by the critics during part of the following decade, Petrushevskaia suddenly became known as one of the most original Soviet playwrights at the end of the 1980's. Since then, Petrushevskaia has gained fame abroad, where both her stories and plays have been translated. In particular, it was the European tour of the Studio L'Homme which started the renown when it brought her play Cinzano to Munich, London, Glasgow, Parma, Arnhem, and Paris.
