Hugo Hamilton. Lyudy z vesnyankamy. (The Speckled People)
"The novel by Hugo Hamilton "The Speckled People" is a dramatic and sad story of an Irish family where the father was an Irishman, while the mother was a German. This story, as if a drop of dew, mirrors the fate of the entire Irish people. This book is about fight for Irish language at the family level, about looking for the way home, and the bitterest pain ever – that of being lost, humiliated, and homeless.

Characters of the novel are unusual people, they possess more than one language and more than one history. They sleep German way, but dream Irish way. They laugh in Irish, cry in German, and speak English. They are marked people. The speckled people. The stubborn, proud, and freedom-loving Irish."

Why is this book worth reading? Reread the second paragraph of the annotation again. It seems that the internal situation in this family somehow reminds of the domestic situation in Ukraine...

Kurt Vonnegut. Galapagos.


Resorting to humor, Vonnegut creates a desperate genealogical adventure – a mix of the Old Testament, the Latin American novel, and a collage comic book, where he fantasizes about what the mankind will turn into in a million years.
