Where Currents Meet treats the Ukrainian and Russian components of
cultural experience in Ukraine's East as elements of a complex
continuum. This study of cultural memory in post-Soviet society
shows how its inhabitants negotiate the historical legacy they have
inherited. Tanya Zaharchenko approaches contemporary Ukrainian
literature at the intersection of memory studies and border
studies, and her analysis adds a new voice to an ongoing
exploration of cultural and historical discourses in Ukraine. This
scholarly journey through storylines explores the ways in which
younger writers in Kharkiv (Kharkov in Russian), a diverse,
dynamic, but under-studied border city in east Ukraine today, come
to grips with a traumatized post-Soviet cultural landscape.
Zaharchenko's book examines the works of Serhiy Zhadan, Andrei
Krasniashchikh, Yuri Tsaplin, Oleh Kotsarev and others, introducing
them as a "doubletake" generation who came of age during the Soviet
Union's collapse and as adults, revisit this experience in their
novels. Filling the space between society and the state, local
literary texts have turned into forms of historical memory and
agents of political life.
