Uplifting and utterly defiant, Matt Nixson's "Daily Express" offers an insider's account of how an ordinary life became extraordinary. Helen Davies, writing for "The Times," praises this journal of the invasion as a remarkable record of a brilliant writer at the forefront of a 21st-century war. Andrey Kurkov, a consistent satirical commentator on his adopted country of Ukraine, has recently released "Grey Bees," a dark foreshadowing of the devastation in the eastern part of Ukraine. Throughout the Russian invasion, Kurkov has lived in Kyiv and the remote countryside, as well as flown to European capitals to raise money for charities and address crowded halls. He has become an important voice for his people, with requests to write for every English newspaper and be interviewed across Europe. Kurkov sees every video and every posted message, and he spends sleepless nights delivering the truth about this invasion to the world.
