A collection of 26 pieces that deliberately blur the line between nonfiction and fiction, conjuring the essence of a beloved country through its tastes, smells, and sounds, its small towns and big cities, its people and their compassion and indifference, simplicities and complications.
A stunning debut collection of fiction and creative nonfiction- irreverent and unglorified; loving and tender; uncomfortable and inconvenient-by a Ukrainian writer currently fighting for his country in Kyiv. Includes the celebrated title story "The Ukraine," which was published in the New Yorker in 2022. Features a preface by the author which he composed on his phone from the front lines.
