Second-hand Time is the latest work from Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature. In this remarkable book, Alexievich:
- Brings together the voices of dozens of witnesses to the collapse of the USSR.
- Undertakes a formidable attempt to chart the disappearance of a culture.
- Explores what new kind of man may emerge from the rubble.
Using a singular, polyphonic literary form, she masterfully combines:
- Extended individual monologues, and
- A collage of voices, creating a rich tapestry of experiences.
The result is a magnificent requiem to a civilization in ruins—a brilliant, poignant, and unique portrait of post-Soviet society, woven from the deeply personal stories of ordinary women and men.
