Littell J., D'Agata A. Neudobnoe mesto
Littell J., D'Agata A. Neudobnoe mesto
| Author | Littell J., D'Agata A. |
| Title | Neudobnoe mesto |
| Description | Jonathan Littell is a writer and documentarian, and Antoine d’Agata is a Magnum photographer. Their book An Inconvenient Place brings text and image together in a grave meditation on Babyn Yar, on historical memory, and on Russian crimes in Ukraine. The first version of the manuscript was completed two days before the full-scale invasion. In November 2022, Littell returned to it and rewrote the book after Bucha and after the occupation of Mariupol, when reality itself demanded a different tone and a different frame.
This is a book about the way the past remains active inside the present. Littell studies Babyn Yar as a site of mass murder and as a site of fractured memory. At the same time, he shows how damaged accounts of history can be turned into material for a new war. D’Agata’s photographs deepen that effect and give the book an almost physical force. The result is a deeply unsettling work about memory, violence, and the return of history in the form of a new disaster. |
