Krátky popis
'Groskop skillfully juggles memoir, biography, philosophy, and
literary criticism ... witty, infectiously engaged, and always
thoughtful' - Madeline Miller on Au Revoir, TristesseAutumn 1993.
The former USSR.Viv is about to turn 21 and is on a study year
abroad, supposedly immersed in the language, history and politics
of a world that has just ceased to exist: the Soviet Union.
Instead, she finds herself immersed in Bogdan Bogdanovich - the
lead guitarist of a Ukrainian punk rock band. As the temperature
drops, he promises that if she can get through the freezing Russian
winter, he will give her ",one Ukrainian summer.", But is he
serious about her? Or is she just another groupie?At parties, gigs
and dive bars, Viv and her new friends argue over whose turn it is
to buy cigarettes, the best places to find Levi's jeans and whether
beer counts as a soft drink.No-one debates the merits of speaking
Ukrainian over Russian, the precise location of the border or the
undeniable brightness of the future. Of course good times are here
to stay. Because the Soviet Union is finished.Isn't it?A poignant
and often comical account of coming-of-age in the time after the
Cold War and before Putin, One Ukrainian Summer is a love letter to
a unique moment in history. ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK WILL BE
