PRE-SALE! The book is expected in May 2026

A dramedy about the backstage of domestic television
Television is one of the social demiurges, it constructs reality. It is a needle that bursts your bubble and unexpectedly pricks you painfully. While the creative middle class uses the remote control only to change the temperature in the air conditioner, the television tells your neighbor when to change dollars, produces mass-market idols, creates and destroys presidents.

(Emma Antonyuk in the foreword to the book)

Vira Dorosh grows up in a family where there are twice as many televisions in three rooms, and the truth changes depending on the TV channel. Demandingness and cruelty for her are the educational norm, and always being better is the only way to earn love. One day, due to a coincidence of circumstances, a teenager Vira gets a microphone in her hands for regional news. Thus begins the tragic, but at the same time comedic journey of a girl who dreams of fame in the world of Ukrainian television. Compromises with conscience, curiosities, harassment, temptations and risk - in her story you will read everything that precedes the live broadcast. Everything that will not be shown on the evening news.
