Reviews"The work of witness and work of imagination appear hand in hand in this book. ... My immense gratitude goes to the translators of this work, their incredible fortitude and skill--to be willing to live in the text of many hundreds of pages is an incredible act of service to the author and all that he has endured. But they emerge from it with English prose that is as clear as it is nuanced--and this is a gift to us, readers. I am beyond grateful." --Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic

SynopsisDespite moral pressure and exhaustion, Sentsov's records display his diligence and objective eye as filmmaker and activist. A remarkable two-book volume: Diary of A Hunger Striker , the first-hand account of celebrated Ukrainian filmmaker Oleh Sentsov, jailed unfairly as a political prisoner, during his 145-day-long hunger strike in a Russian prison; and Four and a Half Steps , his newest collection of short stories. Sentsov's prison diary begins three days into his indefinite hunger strike, as he calls for the release of all political prisoners in Russia. Frank, sharp, and detailed, the diary recounts day after day of observations and thoughts about his daily life, from interactions with guards, police officers good and bad, to his thoughts on fellow writers and the world outside his cell.
