Specifikacia The Length of Days: An Urban Ballad Rafeyenko Volodymyr
The Length of Days features a wild cast of characters--Lithuanian, Russian, and Ukrainian--and cameo appearances by Rosa Luxemburg, Amy Winehouse, and others. Embedded narratives attributed to one character, an alcoholic chemist-turned-massage-therapist, broaden the reader's view of the funny, ironic, or tragic lives of people who remained in the ill-fated Donbas after Russia's initial aggression in 2014. Unexpected allies emerge to try to stop the war, as characters criticize Ukraine's government at the time, its self-interest, and failures to support its citizens in the east.With elements of magical realism, the work combines poetry and a wicked sense of humor with depth of political analysis, philosophy, and moral interrogation. Witty references to popular culture--Ukrainian and European--underline the international and transnational aspects of Ukrainian literature.
