The Wormwood. Selected essays
by Oksana Zabuzhko
Description
This volume contains the most important essays by Oksana Zabuzhko written in the last two decades, devoted to figures and events that the author considers culturally significant for today's era of the crisis of humanism. "Feminine", "masculine" and "collective", all these "portraits" are united by the author's deeply personal experience of ongoing history in which she inscribes her characters — and thus reveals in it what, at least, seems to be catastrophic, a previously invisible life-affirming meaning.
