About the author:

Vasyl Shklyar is one of the most famous writers of modern Ukraine. The success of Shklyar's novels is overwhelming: honours, prizes, grand prix, multiple reprints and translations. Shklyar is the winner of many literary awards, but perhaps the most expensive of them is the People's Shevchenko Prize, which the author received after he refused to accept the National Taras Shevchenko Prize awarded to him by the criminal authorities in 2011. Shklyar's novels are constantly among the best sellers, and some of them will soon be released on cinema screens.
