OKSANA ZABUZHKO, AUTHOR OF "THE MOST INFLUENTIAL UKRAINIAN BOOK IN THE 15 YEARS SINCE INDEPENDENCE", 'FIELD WORK IN UKRAINIAN SEX', RETURNS WITH A GRIPPING SHORT STORY COLLECTION. Oksana Zabuzhko, Ukraine's leading public intellectual, is called upon to make sense of the unthinkable reality of our times. In this breathtaking short story collection, she turns the concept of truth over in her hands like a beautifully crafted pair of gloves. From the triumph of the Orange Revolution, which marked the start of the twenty-first century, to domestic victories in matchmaking, sibling rivalry, and even tennis, Zabuzhko - manages to shock the listener/reader by juxtaposing things as they are - inarguable, visible to the naked eye - with how things could be, weaving myth and fairy tale into pivotal moments just as we weave a satisfying narrative arc into our own personal mythologies. At once intimate and worldly, these stories resonate with Zabuzhko's irreverent and prescient voice, echoing long after listening/reading.
