Ukrainian Literature

Tetyana Bondarchuk’s *If Cities Could Speak* is an exceptionally insightful, atmospheric, and emotional book that blends elements of fiction, urban essays, and profound psychological reflection. The book’s concept is rooted in the poetic idea that every city is not merely a collection of streets, buildings, and squares, but a living organism with its own unique voice, character, memory, and soul.

"My War Story" is an honest and deeply poignant collection of real-life memories of Ukrainians living through the aftermath of the full-scale invasion. Through the vivid voices of soldiers, volunteers, and civilians, the book captures the pain of loss while simultaneously showcasing the incredible strength of spirit, solidarity, and the unyielding faith of our people in victory.

The book *Death. Short Stories. Overrated* by Boris Antonenko-Davydovych is a substantial collection of works by an outstanding Ukrainian writer, linguist, and political prisoner of the Soviet regime, a representative of the Executed Renaissance generation. This collection showcases his artistic talent, subtle psychological prose, and his stance as an uncompromising literary critic.
