Tinkay Kretova is the author of many stories, essays and short stories. She was awarded the «Altyn Tobylgy 2016» prize for the story «Kaztaban» and «Uly Dala - 2019» prize for her «Qazakhstani» story. Each of Tinkay's writings is woven from various impressions she gathered while travelling around Kazakhstan. And here it is impossible not to notice how her experience is similar to that of another famous Kazakh writer, whom I once mentioned in our programme. Of course, I mean Maxim Zverev, who has also been writing about our nature.
