Forgottenness

"Forgottenness" is an award-winning novel by Tanja Maljartschuk that explores themes of belonging and uprootedness through the perspective of an anxious narrator and her fascination with Ukrainian history. As she delves into the life of Viacheslav Lypynskyi, a Ukrainian political activist, she finds solace and connection in her country's past amid her own struggles with mental health. Translated by Zenia Tompkins, the novel offers a profound reflection on identity, history, and the Ukrainian experience.
