Bohdana Neborak is a journalist, cultural manager, reader, and co-host of the project “Untitled for Now.” Anastasia Yevdokimova is a literary critic, curator of art projects, co-host of the project “Untitled for Now,” and interviewer of “Conversations with Sense.” During the conversation, we talk about how Bohdana chooses books, listen to advice on where to start getting acquainted with Ukrainian literature, reflect on how Russian imperialism manifested itself in the sphere of culture, and, of course, ask about the importance of literature and people close to books in Bohdana’s life. All this and more is discussed in a conversation about books and senses, in which Anastasia Yevdokimova asks questions and Bohdana Neborak answers. #neborak #bogdananeborak #theurkainians #literature #whattoread #conversationswithsense #bookstoresense #bookclub #sense #sensebookstore #kyivbookstore Bohdana's review of the short story collection "The Thirtieth Year" by Ingeborg Bachmann: • For people who are not afraid of escapism ...
