Brief overview in English of recent new Ukrainian literature

[Natalia Pylypiuk]

Dear Colleagues and Students,

I draw your attention to a brief introduction in English to  
"Contemporary Ukrainian Literature, " which was released by Arseniy  
Yatseniuk's Open Ukraine Foundation:

http://openukraine.org/doc/Almanah.pdf

The overview includes the perspective of British, French, German,  
Italian, Polish and Russian translators.  It concludes with a  
commentary by the well known bi-lingual Ukrainian author, Andrey  
Kurkov, who states that "Russian and Ukrainian literatures fall under  
different rules" and proposes that "there are no young generation  
authors of the like in Europe…"

Wishing you a very happy new year,

Natalia Pylypiuk, PhD, Professor
