Ukrainian authors make headway into lucrative European book market

According to the director of Lviv-based publishing house Kalvaria, Petro Matskevych, the last two years have seen more than 10 modern Ukrainian writers translated – a development that Matskevych characterized as positive.

According to experts, the future of modern Ukrainian literature lies with the keyboard flourishes of the nation’s rising literary stars, such as Irena Karpa, a popular youth fiction author, and Lviv-born Lyubko Deresh, considered among the brightest of Ukraine’s younger generation writers.

Deresh published his first novel at the age of 18, and at 23 today, boasts works translated into several languages, including two in Polish and two in German, with Italian and Serbian translations of his works to be published this year.
