(Epub Download) Calling Ukraine: A Novel [R.A.R](Epub Download)Calling Ukraine:A Novel [R.A.R]DescriptionNational Book Foundation 5 Under 35 honoree and author of Such GoodWork Johannes Lichtman returns with a novel that is strikingly relevantto our times—about an American who takes a job in Ukraine in 2018, onlyto find that his struggle to understand the customs and culture iseclipsed by a romantic entanglement with deadly consequences.Shortlyafter his thirtieth birthday, John Turner receives a call from an oldcollege friend who makes him an odd job offer: move to Ukraine to teachcustomer service agents at a startup how to sound American. John’s neverbeen to Ukraine, doesn’t speak Ukrainian, and is supposed to be ajournalist, not a consultant. But having just gone through a break-upand the death of his father, it might just be the new start he’s beenlooking for. In Ukraine, John understands very little—the language andsocial customs are impenetrable to him. At work, his employees arefluent in English but have difficulty grasping the concept of “smalltalk.” And although he told himself not to get romantically involvedwhile abroad, he can’t help but be increasingly drawn to one of hiscolleagues. Most distressing, however, is the fact that John can hear,through their shared wall, his neighbor beating his wife. Desperate tohelp, John decides to offer the neighbor 100,000 hryvnias to stop. It’sa plan born out the best intentions, but one that has disastrousrepercussions that no amount of money or altruism can resolve. Like BenLerner’s Leaving the Atocha Station and Garth Greenwell’s What Belongsto You, Calling Ukraine reimagines the American-abroad novel. Movingeffortlessly between the comic and the tragic, Johannes Lichtman deployshis signature wry humor and startling moral acuity to illuminate theinevitable complexities of doing right by others.
