My Final Territory is a collection of Andrukhovych’s philosophical, autobiographical, political, and literary essays, which demonstrate 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. [...] My Final Territory showcases Yuri Andrukhovych’s unique voice and provides insight into Ukrainian experience of nationality and identity.« (Book description from the English edition by University of Toronto Press)
Anyone who has crossed the Western border of the 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 Kiew, 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«.
