An exceedingly anxious narrator grapples with a host of conditions, from obsessive-compulsive disorder to a creeping sense of agoraphobia. As her symptoms deepen, she finds unexpected solace researching Viacheslav Lypynskyi (1882–1931), a social and political activist of Polish descent who played a pivotal role in the struggle for Ukrainian independence—and who nursed his own comorbidities. In this long-deceased ideologue the narrator finally finds companionship, mining her country’s history in pursuit of a better grasp over her own. Brilliantly translated by Zenia Tompkins, \u003cem\u003eForgottenness\u003c\/em\u003e movingly illuminates the intricacies of the Ukrainian experience and announces Tanja Maljartschuk as an essential voice in contemporary world literature.","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47917928513776,"sku":"9781324093220","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781324093220_p0.jpg?v=1763707889","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781324093220","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
