Ukraina på Litteraturhuset: Ukrainsk samtidslitteratur med Sofija Andrukhovytsj

In connection with our series this autumn «Ukraina på Litteraturhuset» we have invited the Ukrainian author Sofija Andukhovych (b. 1982). Andukhovych lives in Kyiv and has published a number of books before the major work on Ukraine's history, Amadoka I. The novel, about Romana and Uljana, was published in Ukraine in 2020. The novel was translated into Norwegian in 2025, and in 2026 the follow-up, Amadouka II. Sofija, was published in Norwegian.

Through gripping human destinies the two novels tell Ukraine's history, of struggle, suffering and loss. In this way they combine family history with Ukraine's history in the 20th century and up to the beginning of Russia's war in eastern Ukraine in 2014. Since the outbreak of war in 2022 Andukhovych has regularly been interviewed in connection with the situation in her homeland. Meet her in conversation with Ingunn Lunde, professor at the Department of Foreign Languages at the University of Bergen.

The conversation will be in English.
