Description:
“Short stories are the height of craft, the pinnacle of a prose writer’s skill, and few authors dare to work in this genre. In the collection Good Memories, Maryna Yeshchenko succeeds. Her characters - Ukrainians, who have endured heavy wartime traumas – strive with all their might to retain their will to live, mental resilience, and optimism. Each two- or three-page story reflects a deeply real fate full of drama. The author does not offer simple solutions, and the profound pathos of her prose is often deliberately hidden behind irony and wordplay.” Fabula
