Memoirs

Vasyl Stus. Life as Art

by Dmytro Stus

Description

No one knows what the mystery of fame is. It often happens that someone who was in the epicenter of events all his life is forgotten immediately after death. Vasyl Stus became widely known after his reburial in 1989. What is the reason for this: poetic creativity? heroic life? irreconcilable position? the ability to care about someone else's pain? The poet's son, Dmytro, tries to find answers to these and many other questions, skillfully combining verified biographical information about the life of Vasyl Stus with his own memories and observations about his father. The litetary style of Dmytro's writing is very peculiar. He juxtaposes conflicting contexts, and combines academic and fictional styles of writing. The book is about the poet and dissident Vasyl Stus through the eyes of a researcher and a son. It is intended for a wide range of readers: from students to academicians.
