Recreations — Yurii Andrukhovych

Recreations is a novel set during a poetry festival in the fictional city of Chortopil. Four poets arrive at the festival, and their adventures turn into a carnivalesque spectacle.

Recreations became the manifesto of Ukrainian postmodernism — the novel combines irony, grotesque, and wordplay with a profound reflection on the poet's role in the world. It is one of the most influential Ukrainian novels of the late 20th century.
