'Episodic Memory' paints a picture of a Ukrainian villageseen through the eyes of a woman remembering herchildhood after her mother’s death. The novel is so vivid itseems to be written in a kind of three dimensional ink. As youread this book you hear the news of Gary Powers’s downedU2 crackling from a wireless under an Orthodox icon. Youlearn how to cure a gall bladder ailment by slaughteringthirty chickens, and meet the amateur peasant weathermanwho builds an oversized dovecote to hide from a wife enragedby his meteorological obsession. The book was a worthywinner of Ukraine’s Shevchenko award in 2008.
