Yuri Andrukhovych is one of Ukraine's preeminent authors and cultural commentators. In recognition of his literary writings and his role as a public intellectual he has received numerous awards including the Herder Prize, the Hannah Arendt Prize, and the Goethe Medal.

My Final Territory is a collection of Andrukhovych's philosophical, autobiographical, political, and literary essays, demonstrating his enormous talent as an essayist to the English-speaking world. This volume broadens Andrukhovych's international audience and will create a dialogue with anglophone readers throughout the world in a number of fields including philosophy, history, journalism, political science, sociology, and anthropology. In their introduction, Mark Andryczyk and Michael M. Naydan reveal a somewhat lesser-known side of Andrukhovych's writings that places him alongside such writers as recent Belarusian Nobel Prize winner Svetlana Alexievich.

Eleven of the fourteen essays in this volume, including his seminal work "Central-Eastern Revision" and a brand-new essay on the Russo-Ukrainian War, appear here for the first time in English. My Final Territory showcases Yuri Andrukhovych's unique voice and provides insight into the Ukrainian experience of nationality and identity.

Reviews

"We should feel grateful to the translators for making Andrukhovych's incisive essays available, for the first time and in one place, to English-speaking audiences."

-- Alexander Burak * Slavic Review *

"Andrukhovych is one of Ukraine's most prominent intellectuals, perhaps the very symbol of the rise of Ukrainian postmodernism in the early 1990s."

-- Alessandro Achilli * New Zealand Slavonic Journal *
