Real time, which flows through living human fates, and real people, who flow through time – these are the main subjects of Maria Matios’ new book. Vyrvani Storinky z Avtobiohrafiji is populated by many known and unknown people and events which make up the historical, psychological, ideological, and cultural mosaic of Ukrainian life of the 20th and 21st centuries. The author rightly calls Vyrvani Storinky ‘not just an autobiography, but a book about modernity and contemporaries.’
