With the shelling of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, and Kherson, the war with Russia had clearly, irreversibly begun: \"I thought, this has been allowed to happen, it is a crime against everything human, against a great common space where we live and hope for a future.\" With power and clarity, the \u003cem\u003eWar Diary\u003c\/em\u003e of Yevgenia Belorusets documents the long beginning of the devastation and its effects on the ordinary residents of Ukraine; what it feels like to interact with the strangers who suddenly become your \"countrymen\"; the struggle to make sense of a good mood on a spring day; the new danger of a routine coffee run. First published in the German newspaper \u003cem\u003eDer Spiegel\u003c\/em\u003e and then translated and released each day on the site ISOLARII (and on \u003cem\u003eArtforum\u003c\/em\u003e), the \u003cem\u003eWar Diary\u003c\/em\u003e had an immediate impact worldwide: it was translated by an anonymous collective of writers on Weibo; read live by Margaret Atwood on International Women's Day; adapted for an episode of \u003cem\u003eThis American Life\u003c\/em\u003e on NPR; and brought to the 2022 Venice Biennale by President Zelensky as part of the pavilion \"This is Ukraine: Defending Freedom.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14766980\"\u003eYevgenia Belorusets\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.29w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811234801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811234800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO014000\"\u003eRussian \u0026amp; Soviet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003ePersonal Memoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO015000\"\u003eDiaries \u0026amp; Journals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44475983331565,"sku":"9780811234801","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_9b957baa-473c-4f85-84d6-f59e63f9b274.jpg?v=1700678181","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/war-diary-9780811234801","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
