Herstories. An Anthology of New Ukrainian Women Prose Writers
()
About this ebook
He is young, intelligent, well educated, with patriotic sentiments. But certain misunderstandings oblige him to flee from Ukraine, because in his native land he is a misfit, a superfluous man.
For some reason, everything in his life builds up to a certain Russian scenario.
So to what extent should one burden Ukrainians with the outcome of this Russian Story?
The honour of Ukraine is redeemed, as always, by a woman...
This new book by Eugenia Kononenko deals with love and the quest for one’s own identity, with the vaguely remembered circumstances rendering life nonsensical in Ukraine during the last years of the empire and the early years of independence.
It considers the possibility of a mid-Atlantic meeting in today’s globalised world.
