This anthology, edited by Max Eulitz, presents current positions of contemporary Ukrainian authors. Their narrative texts, essays, diary entries, and poems deal with faultlines in society and the psychological state of the present. The topics include the politics of language, the dreams of soldiers, wartime urban architecture, Western fatigue, shame, and radical gestures of care. The texts set out to make their reflections on current conditions a basis for discussing a future postwar society.

The book is complemented by two image sequences with drawings by Davyd Chychkan and Marharyta Polovinko, both of whom were killed in action on the front lines this year.
