Ірина Вільде — письменниця, феміністка, авторка роману «Сестри Річинські». Її збірка новел «Химерне серце» — це інтимні, психологічно насичені тексти 1930-х років, що передають атмосферу доби та глибину людських переживань. У кожному тексті — ніжність і туга, чутливість до «невловимої іншості» будь-якої особистості. Це література про всіх, хто шукає себе в людських стосунках, у пам’яті, у слові. Це література, що має «легкий, наче весняний капелюшок, стиль», у якому поєднуються еротична відвертість, родинна інтуїція, іронія долі й «дівоча» ніжність. Так свого часу описував цю добірку поет Богдан Ігор Антонич. «Химерне серце» — то не завжди новели в класичному сенсі, а радше емоційно точні знімки із життя, іноді обрамлені в літературні листи чи сповідальні монологи. І саме ця мінливість робить читання живим і несподіваним.

Iryna Vilde, a pen name of Daryna Dmytrivna Polotniuk (Ukrainian: Дарина Дмитрівна Полотнюк, nee Makohon Ukrainian: Макогон), was a Ukrainian writer and Soviet correspondent. She graduated from Lviv University in 1933 and then worked as a teacher and contributed to the journal Zhinocha dolia in Kolomyia (1933–9). Under Soviet rule she wrote for Pravda Ukrainy as a special correspondent and headed the Lviv branch of the Writers' Union of Ukraine. Her work was first published in 1930. Some of her prose works from the prewar period are Povist' zhyttia (The Novelette of Life, 1930), the anthology of short stories Khymerne sertse (The Whimsical Heart, 1936), the novelettes Metelyky na shpyl’kakh (Pinned Butterflies, 1936) and B’ie vos'ma (The Clock Strikes Eight, 1936), and novelettes based on the life of the intelligentsia and students, such as Povnolitni dity (Grown-up Children, 1939). Her postwar works include Istoriia odnoho zhyttia (The History of One Life, 1946), Nashi bat'ky roziishlysia (Our Parents Have Separated, 1946), Stezhynamy zhyttia (Along the Paths of Life, 1949), Iabluni zatsvily vdruhe (The Apple Trees Have Blossomed Again, 1949), Kury (Chickens, 1953), Nova Lukavytsia (1953), Zhyttia til’ky pochynaiet’sia (Life Is Just Beginning, 1961), and Troiandy i ternia (Roses and Thorns, 1961). In all of those works Vilde showed herself a master at describing the life of Galicians from a variety of social classes. The work most highly rated by literary critics is the novel Sestry Richynski (The Richynsky Sisters, 2 vols, 1958, 1964), in which she portrays the intelligentsia and townspeople from a wide range of social backgrounds. A collected edition of Vilde's works, Tvory (Works, 4 vols, 1967–8), has been published, as well as a Russian translation in five volumes (1958).
