My Final Territory is a collection of Andrukhovych’s philosophical, autobiographical, political, and literary essays, which demonstrate his enormous talent as an essayist. This volume addresses readers in a number of fields including philosophy, history, journalism, political science, sociology, and anthropology. My Final Territory showcases Yuri Andrukhovych’s unique voice and provides insight into Ukrainian experience of nationality and identity.
Anyone who has crossed the Western border of Ukraine soon finds out that it marks a dividing line, even ten years after independence, for it demarcates »Europe and something different«. With a refreshing tone, colourful details and full of irony, Andrukhovych describes the post-Soviet reality of his home country: Lemberg and Kyiv, traces of Galicia in decline and the disaster in Chernobyl, the exodus of many westwards and the government’s repressive media policy, not to mention the strange existence of artists, authors and intellectuals in a country »which people leave«.
