pickI wish I had read Voroshilovgrad with a book club because there is just so much to unpack. Zhadan‘s prose were gorgeous. I loved the magical realism and that we couldn‘t always trust what Herman (the MC) or the secondary characters were seeing/saying. I also thought Herman sucked (such a perv). However, there was so much striking symbolism and the ending hit hard and was hilarious. I‘m looking forward to trying more Ukrainian lit! 🇺🇦
Sick at home 🤢 and starting what will probably be my last ebook of the year.
pickWhat is home? How do you find home, what is family and friendship? This book evokes it all. I found the writing beautiful, but the story didn't seduce me as much. Nonetheless, it's a book worth reading.

The font on the front cover and the font on track spine don't match.
pickThis is a post-modern beat novel (with dashes of Hunter S Thompson) set in post Soviet Ukrainian. Well worth checking out.
Currently reading this Ukrainian novel. Newsweek calls it "Trainspotting set against a grim post-Soviet backdrop."
