As the daughter of a man who studies Ukrainian dissidents for a living, the granddaughter of war refugees, and the great-granddaughter of a gulag victim, Bilocerkowycz has inherited a legacy of political oppression. But what does it mean when she discovers a missing page from her family's survival story--one that raises questions about her own guilt? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In these linked essays, Bilocerkowycz invites readers to meet a swirling cast of post-Soviet characters, including a Russian intelligence officer who finds Osama bin Laden a few weeks after 9\/11; a Ukrainian poet whose nose gets broken by Russian separatists; and a long-lost relative who drives a bus into the heart of Chernobyl. \u003ci\u003eOn Our Way Home from the Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e muddles our easy distinctions between innocence and culpability, agency and fate.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonya Bilocerkowycz's work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eGuernica, Colorado Review, The Southampton Review, Image, Ninth Letter, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCrab Orchard Review.\u003c\/i\u003e She has served as a Fulbright grantee in Belarus, an educational recruiter in the Republic of Georgia, and an instructor at Ukrainian Catholic University.
