This study of cultural memory in post-Soviet society shows how its inhabitants negotiate the historical legacy they have inherited. Tanya Zaharchenko approaches contemporary Ukrainian literature at the intersection of memory studies and border studies, and her analysis adds a new voice to an ongoing exploration of cultural and historical discourses in Ukraine.  This scholarly journey through storylines explores the ways in which younger writers in Kharkiv (Kharkov in Russian), a diverse, dynamic, but under-studied border city in east Ukraine today, come to grips with a traumatized post-Soviet cultural landscape. Zaharchenko's book examines the works of Serhiy Zhadan, Andrei Krasniashchikh, Yuri Tsaplin, Oleh Kotsarev and others, introducing them as a \"doubletake\" generation who came of age during the Soviet Union's collapse and as adults, revisit this experience in their novels. Filling the space between society and the state, local literary texts have turned into forms of historical memory and agents of political life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword Introduction  THE DOUBLETAKE GENERATION AND THE SHIMMER OF FRONTIERS  Time and space Memory and literature  The shimmer of frontiers  Where currents meet   Chapter One: FRONTIERS OF IDENTITY  Fluid identities  Narratives at war Sloboda: Roots of fluidity  Chapter Two: FRONTIERS OF EMPTINESS  The last barricade  A story in old drawings  Of monsters and men  Memory and emptiness  The nonmissing variable   Chapter Three: FRONTIERS OF LIFE (AND DEATH)  The Charon hypothesis  The mourning writer   Chapter Four: FRONTIERS OF TRAUMA  Expressing the unspeakable  Surviving the unspeakable Traversing the unspeakable  Writing about the unspeakable   Chapter Five: FRONTIERS OF (IN)SANITY  Monologues of madness  Death, movement, place   Conclusion  Bibliography  Index","brand":"Central European University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047190397271,"sku":"9789633861196","price":104.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789633861196.jpg?v=1750970611","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/where-currents-meet-frontiers-of-memory-in-post-soviet-fiction-of-kharkiv-ukraine-9789633861196","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
