Dmitry Bykov's incendiary book about Volodymyr Zelenskyy has gone to the printers in my translation. Dmitry's dissection of Putinism, Russian society and patriotism is explosive. His mini-chapters on feces and kholodets (jellied meat) in Russian culture are hilarious, disturbing and stunning.

Basko, in a most intimate exchange with her husband, compellingly speaks for millions when she writes, βAs the length of the war began to be measured in weeks, I became more and more resolved in my desire to stay here on our land.β

Oleksandra Basko was one of the first Ukrainian writers to approach me after the full-scale invasion began 3 years ago. But she wrote faster than I could translate. Natasha Ramer stepped in to create a filmscript that she produced and filmed with husband Ray White. It has won 34 awards at festivals.
