        The Wormwood. Selected essays

        by Oksana Zabuzhko

        This volume contains the most important essays by Oksana Zabuzhko written in the last two decades, devoted to figures and events that the author considers culturally significant for today's era of the crisis of humanism. "Feminine", "masculine" and "collective", all these "portraits" are united by the author's deeply personal experience of ongoing history in which she inscribes her characters — and thus reveals in it what, at least, seems to be catastrophic, a previously invisible life-affirming meaning.

        Fieldwork in Ukrainian Sex

        by Oksana Zabuzhko

        Called “the most influential Ukrainian book since independence,” Oksana Zabuzhko’s Fieldwork in Ukrainian Sex became an international phenomenon when it shot to number one on the Ukrainian bestseller list and remained there throughout the 1990s. The sexual odyssey of the artist and poetess, unfolding in Ukraine and America at the end of the 20th century, turns into a true medieval mystery in which the heroine goes through the circles of recent Ukrainian history to meet the Devil face to face.

        Notre Dame d’Ukraine: Lesya Ukrainka in the Conflict of Mythologies

        by Oksana Zabuzhko

        One of Oksana Zabuzhko's most famous books, first published in 2007 and awarded many prestigious prizes, offers the reader an impressive intellectual journey through the ages, cultures and religions in search of "Ukraine we have lost." The key to it is the myth of Lesya Ukrainka - the least read and most dramatically underestimated writer from the pantheon of our national classics. This is not only a fundamental historical and cultural work but also an exquisite philological exegesis. It is also a warning book about the Ukrainian present - about how dearly a nation pays for the loss and oblivion of centuries-old culture.

        How the Cherry Orchard Was Cut Down, or the Long Road from Bad Ems

        by Oksana Zabuzhko

        This book commemorates Oksana Miyakovska-Radysh (1919–2020), a long-term archivist of the Ukrainian Free Academy of Sciences (UVAN) in New York. Her greatness lies in serving her cause with absolute freedom from complexes imposed by Russia and its culture. Reading this book is like flipping through an old family album in Miyakovska-Radysh's company. The book reveals numerous secrets. It turns out that Chekhov's Three Sisters were not just a figment of the writer's imagination. Moreover, Chekhov himself was a young man from then Ukrainian Taganrog, fond of his native Ukrainian language, theatre and one of the three sisters. The book also explores the connection between the "new woman" in Russian literature and the 19th-century Ukrainian women's movement and looks into the past mistakes that still have repercussions for Ukrainians today.

        The Apocrypha. Four Conversations About Lesya Ukrainka

        by Oksana Zabuzhko, His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk

        This book was published to commemorate 150 years from the birth of the classic Ukrainian author Lesya Ukrainka. It is based on transcripts of conversations between Oksana Zabuzhko and His Beatitude Svyatoslav Shevchuk, the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The works of Lesya Ukrainka, included in the second part of the book, are the main topic of their conversation, namely how the stories from evangelical and early Christian history formed the basis of her later work. Ukrainka's work was praised by the Soviet authorities for its socalled atheism but was censored from being staged in the theatres. Ukrainka's spiritual journey during the last twelve years of her life, her interpretation of the images of Judas and Christ, the cult of martyrdom, and the female role in the Christian context are thoroughly analysed in Zabuzhko and Shevchuk's conversations. Zabuzhko built a dialogue between Christianity, and what Soviet and post-Soviet critics called atheism that was in reality a conflict with synodal Orthodoxy.
