READING: Oksana Lutsyshyna

September 29, 2024 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT

Please join us for a special reading with Oksana Lutsyshyna as we celebrate her latest book, Ivan and Phoebe.



Ivan and Phoebe spotlights the uproarious generation that led the Ukrainian independence movement of 1990; from subjugation to revolution to post-Soviet rule, it investigates the difficulties and absurdities of societal change and the families that change with it.

Oksana Lutsyshyna is a Ukrainian writer, translator, and poet, author of three novels, collection of short stories, and five books of poetry, the latest of them published in the English translation in 2019 (Persephone Blues, Arrowsmith). For her latest novel, Ivan and Phoebe, she was awarded Lviv City of Literature UNESCO Prize (2020) and the Taras Shevchenko National Award in fiction (2021). She holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature, and is currently an Assistant Professor of Instruction in Ukrainian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, where she teaches the Ukrainian language and Eastern European literatures in translation.

This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies at The Ohio State University and supported by a U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant.
