Margarita Khemlin ((ロシア語:Маргарита Михайловна Хемлин); 6 July 1960 – 24 October 2015) was a Jewish-Ukrainian novelist and short-story writer, best known for her novel ''Klotsvog''. ==Biography== Margarita Mikhailovna Khemlin was born in Chernigov, Ukraine on 6 July 1960. Her father, Mikhail Khemlin was a foreman, while her mother, Vera Meyerovskaya, was a physiotherapy instructor. From 1980 to 1985, she studied at the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute in Moscow, under the supervision of Lev Ozerov. Following her graduation, she worked variously in Housing and communal services, as a dishwasher, at the publisher ''Fizkultura i sport'', as a theatre reviewer for the newspaper ''Nezavisimaya Gazeta'' (1990–1991), at the art department of the newspaper ''Today'' (1993–1996), as a political editor of the journal ''Itogi'', and as chief editor in charge of promotion and design of the broadcaster Channel One Russia (1996–2003). The programme ''A Minute of Silence'' was revived under her aegis, following its stoppage between 1992–1995 after the fall of the Soviet Union. Khemlin was married to the writer and translator Vardvan Varzhapetian. Khemlin's first publication was the short story ''Illegal Hold'' (alternatively ''Sucker Punch'') in the collection ''Sucker Punch: Sports Detective'' (issue 3, 1991, with Anatoly Belikov). She published a cycle of short stories titled ''A Jewess' Farewell'' in the magazine ''Znamya'' (number 10), and won the Znamya prize for two of the stories (''About Berta'' and ''About Iosif''). Her collection of short stories ''Queueing Area'' was short-listed for the Big Book prize in 2008. Her first novel, ''Klotsvog'', was short listed for the Russian Booker prize in 2009, as was another novel ''The Investigator'' in 2013, which also won the Inspector NOSE prize for best post-Soviet detective book.〔 In 2012, Khemlin was appointed to the jury of the New York-based O'Henry Prize for short stories in the Russian language. Khemlin died on 24 October 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margarita Khemlin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
