The Malady is a novel about a young artist in early 1920s Kyiv, torn between personal feelings and the pressure of the new world. Pluzhnyk creates an atmosphere of the intellectual milieu where illness becomes a metaphor for the era.

The novel stands out among the prose of the Executed Renaissance for its lyrical subtlety and chamber-like tone. It was banned for decades after the author's arrest and only returned to readers in the late 20th century.
