DIARIES OF WAR - NORA KRUG KARTONIERT (TB)

An account of two lives during the war in Ukraine: one Ukrainian  one Russian  by the
internationally bestselling author of Heimat     Diaries of War is a magnificent feat of
witness' Alison Bechdel     'Nora Krug's narrative can emotionally drain the reader  but the
reader is unlikely to ever forget this book' Andrey Kurkov    Immediately following Russia's
invasion of Ukraine in February 2022  Nora Krug connected with two anonymous subjects - 'K.'  a
Ukrainian journalist  and 'D.'  a Russian artist - and began what would become a year of
correspondence. Deeply moved by the rawness of their responses  she felt that through the
personal accounts of these individuals who  directly and indirectly  experienced the war
firsthand  she might be able to communicate something of the war and its human impact. Over the
course of the next twelve months she communicated with each of them individually via phone chat
condensing their sometimes fluid  sometimes fragmentary answers into a consistent narrative and
then created illustrations to go with each entry. The personal accounts contained in this book
chronicle the first year of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in an intimate  epistolary format.  
Diaries of War explores the personal  the political  conflict  family and daily life under war
with immense skill  compassion and moving thoughtfulness. Through these two individuals we see
the granular effects of war on two lives  but they are emblematic of millions. Diaries of War
is a harrowing record of a heart-wrenching historical event that has devastated the world and
continues to alter countless lives.
