Svetlana Alexievitch Series

Svetlana Alexievich crafts literary portraits of life during and after the Soviet Union through the experiences of individuals. Her books employ interviews to create a collage of diverse voices, blurring the lines between reporting and fiction with her "documentary novels." Alexievich's significant works form an extensive cycle exploring "Voices of Utopia." Through her writing, she critically examines the political regimes of both the Soviet Union and its subsequent era in Belarus.
