Sabuschko's much-praised essay is now available for the first time in paperback – expanded with three new texts. On February 23, 2022, Oksana Sabuschko sets off for a book presentation in Poland, but then the Russian army invades Ukraine, turning what was originally a two-day reading tour into the longest book tour of her life. Sabuschko becomes a sought-after interview partner for media from around the world. However, she soon finds the shortened interview format inadequate for addressing the complex relationships between Russia and Ukraine. This leads to the creation of the essay "The Longest Book Tour," where Sabuschko skillfully intertwines the history of both countries while also incorporating her personal experiences. Angry, emotional, and intentionally provocative, she shares previously unknown insights particularly aimed at Western readers, shedding entirely new light on the relationship between Russia and Ukraine.
