Литературные вечера. Роман "Лестница в небо", о главе 1 "Женя"

This stream is part of a series about my novel "Stairway to Heaven," conceived in the late 1990s and written primarily between 2023 and 2025. Here I'll share the story behind this chapter, provide an analysis of it using Joyce (whom I drew inspiration from in my work), and reveal some of the literary techniques I attempted to employ. Without giving away too many spoilers, I'll try to describe Zhenya's family history in the context of the 20th century, discuss parallels with my own family history or details, and discuss whether any of the characters in this chapter were based on real-life prototypes.
