A genre-bending anti-memoir from inside UkraineIn seventeen tales, Sasha Dovzhyk evokes and documents the lives of Ukrainians transformed by Russia's war. She speaks with everyday citizens, from weavers making camouflage netting to librarians turned combatants, and documents the collapse of rural towns and the threat to Ukrainian traditions.Blending lived experience with the folklore of a culture under siege, Dovzhyk chronicles the war in Ukraine through the lens of fable, and asks with devastating clarity: when faced with brutality, what do we become?
