Fieldwork in Ukrainian Sex

Called the most influential Ukrainian book for the 15 years of independence, 'Field Work in Ukrainian Sex' by Oksana Zabuzhko is the tale of one woman's personal revolt provoked by a top literary scandal of the decade. The author, a noted Ukrainian poet and novelist, explains: 'When you turn 30, you inevitably start reconsidering what you have been taught in your formative years - that is, if you really seek for your own voice as a writer. In my case, my personal identity crisis had coincided with the one experienced by my country after the advent of independence. The result turned explosive: 'Field Work in Ukrainian Sex.''
