Hemingway Knows Nothing

For a long time, we were told that Ernest Hemingway was the ultimate authority on the “Lost Generation” and the psychology of war. But Artur Dron boldly declares: Hemingway knows nothing. His novel offers an honest, vivid, and unromanticized взгляд at contemporary Ukrainian reality through the experience of young people forced to trade their ordinary lives for camouflage.
It is subtle, poetic, and at the same time piercing prose about the search for meaning, about love that keeps one afloat, about losses too deep to be cried out, and about the new language now required to speak of what has been lived through. A novel that strikes straight at the heart with its sincerity.
