SUMMARY:A Kind of Refugee - Book Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Connecticut-born\, Kyiv-based author Larissa Babij will present
  her new book "A Kind of Refugee: The Story of an American Who Refused to 
 Leave Ukraine\," introduced by author Askold Melnyczuk and joined by polit
 ical activist Tania Vitvitsky in conversation\, followed by a book-signing
 .\n\nLarissa Babij was at home in Kyiv when Russia launched its full-scale
  invasion of Ukraine on February 24\, 2022. "A Kind of Refugee" chronicles
  the first year of all-out war in Ukraine through vivid dispatches that Ba
 bij sent to readers abroad. It is a personal story of coming to terms with
  her own inherited past as the grandchild of Ukrainian WWII refugees while
  responding to russia's assault on her home and discovering the significan
 ce of taking care of your country together with your compatriots. "A Kind 
 of Refugee" is both a testimony to Ukraine's indefatigable spirit and a me
 ssage to Americans to take responsibility for their power to shape the war
 's outcome.\n\n"Babij's vivid account of her days in Kyiv and traversing t
 he war-ravaged country\, together with a brief but illuminating return to 
 the US\, offers a paradigm and becomes an essential contribution to the gr
 owing body of what's known as the literature of witness." — Askold Melny
 czuk\, author of The Man Who Would Not Bow.\n\nYou may pre-order the book 
 here.\n\nBooks will also be available for sale at the event.
