OverviewThis volume presents, for the first time in English, fourteen essays by Yuri Andrukhovych, making a well-known Ukrainian voice accessible to the English-speaking world. Yuri Andrukhovych is one of Ukraine’s preeminent authors and cultural commentators. In recognition of his literary writings and his role as a public intellectual he has received numerous awards including the Herder Prize, the Hannah Arendt Prize, and the Goethe Medal. My Final Territory is a collection of Andrukhovych’s philosophical, autobiographical, political, and literary essays, demonstrating his enormous talent as an essayist to the English-speaking world. This volume broadens Andrukhovych’s international audience and will create a dialogue with Anglophone readers throughout the world in a number of fields including philosophy, history, journalism, political science, sociology, and anthropology. In their introduction, Mark Andryczyk and Michael M. Naydan reveal a somewhat lesser-known side of Andrukhovych’s writings that place him alongside such writers as recent Belarusian Nobel Prize winner Svetlana Alexievich. Eleven of the fourteen essays in this volume, including his seminal work 'Central-Eastern Revision' and a brand new essay on recent events, appear here for the first time in English. My Final Territory showcases Yuri Andrukhovych’s unique voice and provides insight into the Ukrainian experience of nationality and identity.

Table of ContentsReviewsWe should feel grateful to the translators for making Andrukhovych's incisive essays available, for the first time and in one place, to English-speaking audiences. -- Alexander Burak * <em>Slavic Review</em> * Andrukhovych is one of Ukraine's most prominent intellectuals, perhaps the very symbol of the rise of Ukrainian postmodernism in the early 1990s. -- Alessandro Achilli * <em>New Zealand Slavonic Journal</em> * Combining playful memoir writing, history, fiction, and travelogue, My Final Territory gathers Andrukhovych's best essays from 1996 to 2011, highlighting his views of Galicia, Lviv, Kyiv, and attitudes toward Poles, Russians, and the Soviet past. Most importantly, Andrukhovych is concerned with questions of identity, their complexity and the whimsical grounds on which they are constructed. This translation of My Final Territory captures Andrukhovych's 'lightness of touch' admirably. The English-language reader learns much about Ukraine that will be novel, eye-opening, and inspiring. This is the most valuable achievement of the collection. It allows the reader to hear and see from the perspective of an outstanding contemporary Ukrainian writer and intellectual who engages with the opinions about his country held by others. - Myroslav Shkandrij, Department of Slavic Studies, University of Manitoba We should feel grateful to the translators for making Andrukhovych's incisive essays available, for the first time and in one place, to English-speaking audiences. - Alexander Burak, University of Florida - Slavic Review We should feel grateful to the translators for making Andrukhovych's incisive essays available, for the first time and in one place, to English-speaking audiences. -- Alexander Burak, University of Florida * <em>Slavic Review</em> * Author InformationYuri Andrukhovych is one of Ukraine’s preeminent authors and cultural commentators.
