It is difficult to find a writer of similar style in the Ukrainian literature of the nineties. His prose, which is based on a certain literary tradition, stands out quite noticeably from the prose of many of his peers, who are preoccupied with their own avant-garde and a somewhat nervous belated equation with Western postmodernism. He does not live in the capital and does not remind us of himself with annoying "yakking". However, his works have been used as the basis for five feature films, the last two of which he directed as a filmmaker. The first was the film adaptation of the novel The Score on a Tombstone. A strict literary judge, Valeriy Shevchuk, wrote in a letter to the author: "In The Score... you are a true master..." Read Zhovna's prose and you will be sincerely surprised by these small masterpieces and savour his prose like a thick wine.
