Brooklyn By the Book presents Svetlana Alexievich
"Secondhand Time" is the magnum opus and latest work from Svetlana Alexievich, the 2015 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literaturea symphonic oral history about the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the emergence of a new Russia. Everyday Russian citizens recount the past thirty years, showing us what life was like during the fall of the Soviet Union and what its like to live in the new Russia left in its wake. Through interviews spanning 1991 to 2012, Alexievich takes us behind the propaganda and contrived media accounts, giving us a panoramic portrait of contemporary Russia and Russians who still carry memories of oppression, terror, famine, massacresbut also of pride in their country, hope for the future, and a belief that everyone was working and fighting together to bring about a utopia. Here is an account of life in the aftermath of an idea so powerful it once dominated a third of the world.

"For her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time." --Nobel Prize Committee
