Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A unique work of fiction from the troubled streets of Ukraine, giving invaluable testimony to the new history unfolding in the nations post-independence years Serhiy Zhadan is one of the most important creators of European culture at work today. His novels, poems, and songs touch millions.Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny One of the most astounding novels to come out of modern Ukraine. Mesopotamia is seductive, twisted, brilliant, and fierce.Gary Shteyngart, author of Little Failure and Absurdistan This captivating book is Serhiy Zhadans ode to Kharkiv, the traditionally Russian-speaking city in Eastern Ukraine where he makes his home. A leader among Ukrainian postindependence authors, Zhadan employs both prose and poetry to address the disillusionment, complications, and complexities that have marked Ukrainian life in the decades following the Soviet Unions collapse. His novel provides an extraordinary depiction of the lives of working-class Ukrainians struggling against an implacable fate: the road forward seems blocked at every turn by demagogic forces and remnants of the Russian past. Zhadans nine interconnected stories and accompanying poems are set in a city both representative and unusual, and his characters are simultaneously familiar and strange. Following a kind of magical-realist logic, his stories expose the grit and burden of stalled lives, the universal desire for intimacy, and a wistful realization of the off-kilter and even perverse nature of love.
