%X The latest novel, Voro ylovhrad, by Ukrainian writer Serhij  adan takes the reader to an East-Ukrainian post-totalitarian landscape and reveals a special  adan-like geo-poetic (e.g. in comparison with the Galizian geo-poetic of Jurij Andruxovy ). Unlike his previous novel, Depeche Mode, it is not only a story about the hero¡¯s journey through a devastated post-Soviet landscape, i.e. a metaphorical reflection of the search for one¡¯s own past, but as well a story about finding a way to remember this past. The ability to remember the past offers a way out of the state of transcendental and real homelessness (the story ends with a budding love-story, a novum in  adan¡¯s prose).
