Andreï Kourkov

WRITER

Ukraine

Andreï Kourkov achieved international success with Le Pingouin (Liana Levi, 2000) and Les Pingouins n’ont jamais froid (Liana Levi, 2004), plunging us into the chaos of the post-communist period with a lively, burlesque yet dreamy style. Engaged and always relevant, his recent Journal de Maïdan evokes the Ukrainian uprising, the Ukrainian’s expectations from Europe, and their fear of being subject to the authorities in Moscow.
