Topic for Meditation

What do past defeats mean for us? What awaits them — oblivion or revenge? And is the past really so important for the people of modern Ukraine? Holodomor and the activities of dissidents, the war in Bosnia and the insurgent movement in the 20s, revenge, and redemption — all this is at the center of incredible, psychedelic prose, where dreams combine with reality, and reality combines with the main character's dying delusions.

The novel "Topic for Meditation" by the famous writer and translator Leonid Kononovych was first published in 2005 and became the Book of the Year. The work won the 2009 Hryhorii Kosynka Prize and was nominated for the Shevchenko Prize. Included in the list of the best Ukrainian books that everyone should read.
