More about the Encounters with Polish Literature series and the timeline.\nOksana Zabuzhko (b.1960) is one Ukraine\u2019s most important contemporary writers, the author of more than twenty books of different genres (poetry, fiction, non-fiction).

She graduated from the department of philosophy of Kyiv Shevchenko University, obtained her PhD in the philosophy of the arts, and has worked as a research associate for the Institute of Philosophy of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. In the early 1990s she lectured in the USA as a Fulbright Fellow and a Writer-in-Residence at Penn State University, Harvard University, and University of Pittsburgh. Since the publication of her novel Fieldwork in Ukrainian Sex (1996), which in 2006 was named \u201cthe most influential Ukrainian book for the 15 years of independence,\u201d she has been living as a freelance author.\nZabuzhko has established herself as the country\u2019s leading public intellectual, and has for years been listed by the media among Ukraine\u2019s top 100 most influential people. Since 2013 she, along with her partner, artist Rostyslav Luzhetsky, have operated a small publishing house promoting quality non-commercial literature.\nZabuzhko\u2019s books have been translated into Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, English, Estonian, French, Georgian, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Swedish. Among her acknowledgements are MacArthur Grant (2002), Antonovych Prize (2009), the Ukrainian National Award the Order of Princess Olha (2010), Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine (2019), the French National Order of the Legion of Honor (2023). and many other national and international awards. Her opus magnum, The Museum of Abandoned Secrets (2010), won Angelus Central European Literary Prize for the best novel of Eastern and Central Europe (2013), and.her recent work, The Longest Journey (2022), a book-long essay on the cultural and historical background of the current Russo-Ukrainian war, won in Ukraine The Book of the Year, and has been translated into 9 languages.\nIn this episode, we discuss what she has been doing since the full-scale Russian invasion began on February 24, 2022, her extensive time in Poland and touring Europe since then, and we talk about her most influential work Fieldwork in Ukrainian Sex as well as some of her more recent short work, and her 2022 essay about the war written for a Western audience, but not yet fully translated into English, \u201cThe Longest Journey.\u201d\nOksana Zabuzhko in English Translation\nFieldwork in Ukrainian Sex.
