Book War in Ukraine. "The longest journey" Oksana Zabuzhko

What
is left for the writer when the war pulls him out of his office and
takes him into the air, into a foreign country, into the “nowhere”
between heaven and earth, putting him on pause?… Memory. Language. A stock of untold stories.

In
her new essay, written for a Western audience, Oksana Zabuzhko examines
the origins of today’s Russian-Ukrainian war in two time dimensions —
thirty years and three hundred years, interspersed with her own memories
of how an incalculable amount of human will can change the course of
history.
