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.
