Yuriy Vynnychuk. Hrushi v tisti. (Pears in Dough)

 Track 
Reviews (1)
"Pears in Dough" long ago already became a bestseller, has repeatedly been reprinted and translated, long has been wandering over the Internet, but has never been published in a book. That is why it is quite justified that it became the title piece of the new book by the author of "Ladies of Night" and "Spring Games in Autumn Gardens".

Yuriy Vinnychuk (the winner of BBC 2005 Book of the Year) dives into the days gone again and with the humor characteristic of him and shocking sincerity describes the experience. A reckless go-round of Lviv life in 1970s-1980s will flash before the reader.

The picture on the cover is a work by the English artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898). Chapters of the book are illustrated with graphics by the English artist Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898). The design idea and selection of illustrations belong to the author."

The book "Pears in Dough" became the finalist of BBC 2010 Book of the Year.

Mykola Hohol. Vechornytsi na khutori bilya Dykanky. /art book, transl. by Yu.Vynnychuk/. (Gatherings on a Farm near Dykanka)


Mykola Hohol keeps coming back (turning around!) in the Ukrainian literature. Due to Yuriy Vynnychuk, the text pours like a song, because it finally rings the generous colorful Poltava dialect, which formed the basis of the literary Ukrainian language..

Taras Prokhasko. Tak, ale... (Yes, But...)


Taras Prokhasko, who has long promised to us to write a novel, has not done that again. But he has written – about the future that is long past and about everything that is already here, but nobody knows how long it will be here... And also about that one needs to sleep attentively, have breakfast – in one's own way, and watch by shifting the viewfinder. But the main thing here..

Andriy Bondar. Cerebro.


..the quirky world of small human adventures. The random meetings, model situations that happen to everyone encourage one to reflect, make decisions, and act. Some of these texts reflect actual experiences, while others are completely fictitious – sheer macabre and phantasmagoria. Which are which?

Henry Marsh. Ni sontse, ani smert. (Admissions: A Life in Brain Surgery)

Ernest Hemingway. Choloviky bez zhinok ta inshi opovidannya. (Men Without Women and Other Stories)


In his typical "telegraph" style, Hemingway records events often avoiding to speak about the key things.

Mykola Riabchuk. Do Chapli na urodyny. (To Heron's Birthday Party)


The artistic innovation of Ryabchuk the prose writer, whose works are characterized by the paradox and elegant irony combined with sympathy, lyricism, and light melancholia, has still not been properly appreciated.

Volodymyr Danylenko, Oleksandr Zhovna, Vasyl Gabor. Svyato harbuzovoi knyahyni. Love stories and more. (Pumpkin Princess Feast)


Here, love appears as a multifaceted and incomprehensible feeling that is not logical, that elevates an individual over the routine making him/her free and dependent at the same time – a feeling that gives and takes. A feeling that one needs to have experienced to consider him/herself human.

Bohdan Zholdak. Nestyama. (Frenzy)

Andriy Bondar. I tym, scho v hrobakh. (And to Those in the Tombs)


The collection of short fiction by Andriy Bondar is a vivid reflection of subjective, very personal experiences of the author.

Bohdan Voloshyn. Polit zolotoi mushky. (The Flight of A Golden Fly)

Aram Pachian. Robinzon. (Robinson)


..In that world, the reader, the characters, and the author get interwoven as a single tangle, a node of sheer nerves, from which shapes of Yerevan, streets, districts, objects, and traditions leap here and there.

Vasyl Makhno. Dim u Beyting Hollov. (The House in Bating Hollow)


The events narrated by Vasyl Makhno in his debut collection of short prose take place at different times and in different continents, but no matter who narrates the story – a man in his fifties, an elderly widows, or a small boy – one believes them.
