Igor Pomerantsev. KGB ta inshi... (KGB and Others...)
"Not having so far books by Pomerantsev published in Ukraine (the more so – in Ukrainian) is a pretty egregious gap...

It is very important that this voice started sounding in our current discussions and geo-cultural examinations. Though, perhaps, it is it, the voice, the one that sounds on "Svoboda", or, excuse me, in freedom, that is somehow present in them. But we really need Pomerantsev as a text, as writing, as something read with eyes. It is an extremely rare type of a Russian writer – one of those who perceive extremely sensitively, know extremely well and – as it appears – love the Ukrainian culture. Well, he is not that "extremely rare type" – he is just unique, that's it. No, there are probably enough cheap sycophants on the Russian side in our culture. But people like him – thoroughly and truly committed to its "vicious questions" – thoughtful interpreters, they are not present at all. And he is unique in that sense." Yuri Andruhovych

Serhiy Zhadan. Psalom aviatsiji. (The Psalm of Aviation)


..Changing the optics results in a change in writing.
