Johannes Lichtman: Calling Ukraine
“What I learned from my first book is that every single thing isn’t life or death ... that not every little thing is going to make or break you. ”
Johannes Lichtman joins me to discuss his novel Calling Ukraine.
National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 honoree and author of Such Good Work Johannes Lichtman returns with a novel that is strikingly relevant to our times--about an American who takes a job in Ukraine in 2018, only to find that his struggle to understand the customs and culture is eclipsed by a romantic entanglement with deadly consequences.
