Earth Gods presents the early writings of Taras Prokhasko, one of Ukraine's most prominent contemporary writers. Collected here for the first time in one book, these works span various genres yet form a single chronicle. Anna's Other Days, Prokhasko's first publication, testifies to the desire to free Ukrainian culture of overt influences of voices, styles, and genres that have dominated it for centuries. FM Galicia collects reflections delivered by the author at a Ukrainian radio show over a five-month period. Emphasizing the relevance of the oral genre as the origin of the text, Prokhasko has created a unique diary that strives to exist outside of literature and invites the reader to meditate on the human condition. The UnSimple-a novel whose action unfolds between the two world wars near Ialivets, in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains-documents the collapse of the grand narratives of the past, embodied here by the Carpathian earth gods who, despite their magical powers, are unable to save the patriarchal community they've been entrusted with from being overrun by the forces of modernization.

A master of reflexive, finely nuanced prose, Prokhasko weaves together narrative strands testifying to the sophistication and integration of Ukrainian culture with the world.
