      Exploring themes of alienation and existential despair, Izdryk's narrative reimagines the tragic figure of Woyzeck, a barber haunted by inner demons and societal rejection. Set against the backdrop of a post-war Europe, the protagonist grapples with love's betrayals and the uncertainties of life. The novel combines elements of tragedy and dark comedy, showcasing Izdryk's sharp satire and inventive metaphors to reflect the complexities of modern existence. This work resonates deeply with the disillusioned spirit of the 1990s Ukrainian generation.
