Disorientation on the terrain

by Yurii Andrukhovych

Description

These are attempts to look into the coexistence of cultural spaces: the metaphysics of landscapes; a man on his way; Central Europe as unity and uniqueness; the post-imperial search for identity. Three sections - "Introduction to geography", "Park of culture" and "About the time and method" - offer three different dimensions of the outlined problem - cultural, historical, and mytho-poetic and individual-existential."

Author Biography

Yurii Andrukhovych was born in 1960 in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. He is considered the leading contemporary Ukrainian writer. He writes poems, prose, essays and translates from German and Polish. Andruchowytsch’s previous novels were written in the 1990s. Recreations (Рекреації) 1992; The Moscoviad (Московіада, 1993) and Perverzion (Перверзія, 1996) represent a radical renewal of Ukrainian literature. With Twelve Circles (Дванадцять обручів, 2003), Galician postmodernism reached its temporary peak. After almost twenty years, the author now presents his fifth novel, Radio Night.
