Second-hand Time is the latest work from Svetlana Alexievich,
winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature. Here she brings
together the voices of dozens of witnesses to the collapse of the
USSR in a formidable attempt to chart the disappearance of a
culture and to surmise what new kind of man may emerge from the
rubble. Fashioning a singular, polyphonic literary form by
combining extended individual monologues with a collage of voices,
Alexievich creates a magnificent requiem to a civilization in
ruins, a brilliant, poignant and unique portrait of post-Soviet
society out of the stories of ordinary women and men.
