Надо отметить, что Александра Крючкова – настоящий мастер слова, чья проза не только метафизично-мистична, но и поэтична. Неоднократно она становилась победителем литературных конкурсов и лауреатом литературно-общественных премий, в том числе – Открытого Литературного Клуба «ОткЛиК». Так, роман «Ангел-Хранитель» получил премию «Серебряный ангел» 2015 имени Ф. Саган, роман «Исповедь Призрака», на мой взгляд, близкий по духу к «Острову Харона», отмечен премией «Творец миров» 2019 имени Д. Андреева, а бестселлер «Книга Тайных Знаний» (тираж превысил 10 000 экземпляров) в 2020 году стал победителем конкурса «Магический реализм XXI» имени Карлоса Кастанеды и Георгия Гурджиева.
Однако лично для меня «Остров Харона» в большей степени ассоциируется с Экзюпери, поэтому от лица Открытого Литературного Клуба «ОткЛиК» я с радостью объявляю Александру Крючкову лауреатом литературно-общественной премии имени А. де Сент-Экзюпери «Океан, ветер, песок и звёзды» 2021!

L. Koroleva, «Ocean, wind, sand and stars»
Oh… sea, sea, sea, islands…
The books of Alexander Grin inspired and continue to inspire many poets and writers, and almost every girl dreams of seeing the «Scarlet Sails»7 on the horizon! The main character of «The Island…» is not an exception, but, unfortunately, it doesn’t often happen in reality that all girls whose fate is initially similar to Assol meet the real Gray, even if he calls himself by this name, being the captain of a ship in fact.
«The Island of Charon» is a temptation, an exam that each of us has to go through. In «The Island» (as well as in «A Trap for a Thought-Form») Alexandra Kryuchkova is filigree-laconic, much remains behind the scenes, being hidden as the real treasure between the lines. The reader feels an understatement that draws him further and further to explore «The Island» in search of answers and clues to the next charades until in the end he is left alone with… himself, or rather, with his Spirit…
It must be said that the author of «The Island of Charon», despite the difficult fate, or, perhaps, thanks to it, has an iron will and an extraordinary strength of the Spirit, and she doesn’t only write books, but she has been active in the field of literature for more than 15 years: holds literary evenings and seminars for contemporary poets and writers, organizes collective projects, including foreign ones, helps new authors on their way to recognition, repeatedly serves on the jury. <…>
Since the Open Literature Club «Response» always welcomes and encourages active members of the club, Alexandra got many diplomas of our Club for her contribution to the development of literature and the preservation of cultural traditions, for faithful service to literature and achievements in the field of poetry and prose, for a significant contribution to the development of Russian-Hungarian and other foreign relations in the field of literature and culture, for a significant contribution to the development of book publishing and active creative and organizational activities within the framework of the Year of Literature in the Russian Federation, etc.
However, one of the distinguishing features of Alexandra Kryuchkova’s prose, despite her own positive image in literary circles, is her obvious dislike of «positive» heroes. So, we find out in «The Island» that the main
