Modern Animal

Modern Animal is a 2021 novel by Yevgenia Belorusets.[1] Belorusets connects a series of different characters and ideas, making use of a Soviet-style lecture form. While writing the novel, Belorusets interviewed people along the Donbas region, approaching the Russian-Ukrainian conflict through stories about animals.[2] ISOLARII co-founder Sebastian Clark described the work “as a great refutation of autofiction.”[3] The book was published with a foreword by filmmaker Peter Greenaway.[4] Writing for magCulture, Danielle Mustarde notes how over the course of the novel the "once-structured Modern Animal evolves into a dream-like mix of interview, folklore and fiction."[5]
