"This is the first new book by Lina Kostenko during the recent 20 years of silence and her first prose novel. The novel is written in the person of a 35-year old computer programmer, who against the background of his personal drama captiously, deeply and painfully scans all dislocations of our globalized time. In the world of redundant (des)information and total alienation, he – a hostage of global absurdities – aims to overcome the communicative abyss between the man and woman, between the family and profession, between Ukraine and the world. Speaking about genre stylistics, "Notes by the Ukrainian Lunatic" is a saturated mix of fiction, internal diaries, modern chronicles and publicism." In Ukrainian. Illustrations: Vladyslav Erko (headpieces) Type of the edition: hard cover Format: 130x200 mm Number of pages: 416

"There are very few things in the world that cannot be avoided. For example, death or defenselessness. Death can be relieved with the hope for another life, defenselessness – with the hope for protection. But in eternity we are defenseless and mortal." These words by Halyna Pahutyak could be the leitmotif of the entire book..

This is a work of the writer's deep penetration into the everyday life of Galicians in the 1930's-1950's. Among the participants of the novel's events, there are actual and fictional people who turned into the epoch's victims and heroes. The essay novel is a sort of a prophecy, a warning about the tragic realities of our time..

An ordinary spot on the border of the "happy Austria", where they live, suffer... And against the backdrop of the era that for next generations will increasingly get wrapped in myths of an idyllic life – the lives of two women that got so closely intertwined, as if trunks of trees – in an inseparable grasp that does not make it possible to live, or breathe, stay or leave.

Читаючи роман Ліни Костенко "Записки українського самашедшого" розумієш, що вона цікава не тільки як поет. У Ліни Костенко дуже оригінальне висвітлення подій. Головні герої-прості кияни, але вони здатні на вчинок.

Отримав вчасно, книга в чудовому стані. Вже прочитав половину, повністю згоден з автором: хіба такої України ми сподівались? Не згоден з шановною п.Білик про заполітизованість твору. На мою думку цінність "Записок" якраз в тому і полягає, що закликає нас українців прокинутись поки не пізно і дати підсрачника всім "табачникам", розмовляти та писати нашою мовою, почати поважати себе і тоді все буде. Визвольні змагання тільки починаються.

Мне понравился язык автора, его видение мира, но я представляла себе, что книга будет менее политизирована. После прочтения ее у меня осталось хорошее впечатление об авторе как о человеке, который мастерски владеет техникой написания прозы, как о человеке с богатым духовным миром.
Понравилась и подача романа как два в одном - политика и бытиё глазами простого человека.Так вот то, что видел и ощущал простой человек в своей жизни - впечатлило. А описаниями политических украинских перепетий, на мой взгляд, чересчур перегружено произведение, и под конец остался осадок чтения прессы или прослушивания ежедневных новостей.(Чем мы уже отравлены в достаточной мере, я имею ввиду негатив подачи).
Благодарю отправителя книги, она была прекрасно упакована и доставлена в идеальном виде почтой.
