This is an automatically translated description

Oleksandr Mykhed began writing Call Sign for Job on the first day of the large-scale invasion, which took place in the eighth year of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The author worked on the book for thirteen months, writing about what he and his wife went through, about his parents, who were in Bucha for almost three weeks during the occupation. It's about how we change, how our everyday language becomes the language of war, how once familiar and important things become painful triggers, and how certain feelings and emotions become things you want to forget, but also remember forever.

This book is not exclusively the author's reflection, but rather the opposite: he has collected and presented the thoughts and experiences of many Ukrainians during the first year of the invasion. Ukrainians, like Job in the Old Testament, are now experiencing terrible losses. How do we lose our closest friends and homes? How are Ukrainian children changing and what kind of post-memory will the next generation have? And finally, who is each of us in this war?"
