Description

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE WAR is based on a series of everyday conversations, mainly between the author and people she meets, and occasionally conversations she overhears. It is written from an extraordinary place at a crucial inflection point-Ukraine in the middle of a protracted fight for its very existence. These conversations are tied together as a journey across Ukraine, taking us from its western regions, which enjoy an eerie, uneasy relative peace, to the front lines, where life is measured in days and hours. The price of things, the right to language, suspicions about government, corruptions of history, paranoia, resignation, and the steadfast commitment to a dream or duty all contribute to a gradual picture of a people with an uncertain future.

The author is uniquely positioned to capture the essence of the Ukrainian and Russian states of mind, with roots in both countries and a celebrated background in writing and translating poetry and prose from Russian into English and vice versa. The natural and uniquely "Eastern" humor and passion come through, as do the virtues and human shortcomings of a society in transition, person by person. Despite repeated invitations, the author was careful to avoid the temptation to speak with famous Ukrainians and Ukrainian politicians, so that she could be sure her subjects, regular people, spoke freely.

"It wasn't the Russian language that started this war, and that's killing people-it's the tyrant of the neighboring country." - a cab driver in Kyiv

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE WAR is a reflection of Ukraine that is as true as possible, uncensored and unplanned, unfolding before us in a way only the particular art of exquisite narration can render.
