No One Talks About the War: Travels in Ukraine During the War

By Nina Kossman

A powerful, offbeat narrative of encounters with ordinary Ukrainians living through war.

In the tradition of Anna Funder's Stasiland, No One Talks About the War is built on everyday conversations between the author and the people she meets. It is written from an extraordinary place at a crucial inflection point: Ukraine in the midst of a protracted fight for its very existence. These conversations are woven together as a journey across Ukraine, from the western regions, where relative peace hangs in the air, to the front lines, where life is measured in days and hours. Through these raw encounters, the book explores themes of language, history, and the steadfast commitment of a people facing an uncertain future.
