This book is an attempt to examine the most interesting trends and turns, changes and shifts, fractures and shifts in the complex and controversial Ukrainian literary development of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Much attention is paid to autobiographical discourse. A prominent writer is always interesting to the reader not only for his texts, but also for his biography, for those aspects of personal experience that inspire a work of fiction, are reflected in the plots, the psychology of the characters, even in reservations, ciphers, and the game of concealment / (semi-)disclosure. The mosaic of styles, searches, artistic trends, and creative biographies unfolds in the texts of Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Mykola Bazhan, Mike Johansen, Yuriy Kosach, Oksana Zabuzhko, and Serhiy Zhadan. Despite the fact that it is intergenerational conflicts that drive artistic development, rebellious children still owe a lot to their «literary parents».
