“It was a huge literary scandal, I was dubbed a witch, I went through the gauntlet of the most outrageous criticism.” Bestselling author Oksana Zabuzhko talks to Mariella Frostrup on #TimesRadio about writing about national identity, sexuality, and political tensions in Ukraine, and says that promoting Ukrainian culture is her contribution to the war effort. Mariella Frostrup is live from Cheltenham Literature Festival which is hosting Ukraine Day, filled with specially co-curated events celebrating Ukrainian writers, poets, musicians and filmmakers.
