Ана на ґанкуАна на ґанку

With the onset of the Russian-Ukrainian war, a translator from Kyiv, Romanovsky, finds himself in a small mountain town in southern Spain, where he continues working on his translation of 2666-Roberto Bolaño's dark epic, foretold to become a harbinger of 22nd-century literature. The search for the mysterious writer Archimboldi, the serial murders of women in the fictional city of Santa Teresa on the U.S.-Mexico border, and many other threads begin to intertwine in Romanovsky's mind with the events unfolding in his homeland. Unexpectedly, he too becomes drawn into a search-this time for a painting he stumbles upon in the Prado Museum¿

In the deeply lyrical novel Ana on the Porch, literature becomes both a refuge and a battlefield, and also an inspiration for a love the protagonist never expected to find in Spain-yet did.
This book is a kind of meditation-an attempt to answer the question of what it means to live, to think, and to love when the world around you is on fire.
