Is it odd that neither the local city library and the university library don&#x27;t have one of her works (pop. 320k)? She has gotten awards before, so one would think she&#x27;s more popular. How political is this choice?<p>As a child of two parents who lived through WWII I recognized her sample from the book &#x27;unchildlike stories&#x27;&#x2F;&#x27;last witnesses&#x27; <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.alexievich.info&#x2F;knigi&#x2F;LastWit_En.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.alexievich.info&#x2F;knigi&#x2F;LastWit_En.pdf</a> but on her page it seems it has only been translated into japanese and is not available in a language I (or my parents) understand, it&#x27;s a pity. Another book I would like to read is &#x27;The wonderful deer of the eternal hunt&#x27; but that doesn&#x27;t seem to be ready yet (or abandoned?). In an article about her work from 15 years ago it&#x27;s mentioned that she has been working on this book for 3 years now and she wants the topic to be part of her work. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tol.org&#x2F;client&#x2F;article&#x2F;8060-a-writer-from-a-cracked-world.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tol.org&#x2F;client&#x2F;article&#x2F;8060-a-writer-from-a-crack...</a><p>Fortunately I can order &#x27;Voices from Chernobyl&#x27; and &#x27;War Does Not Have a Woman&#x27;s Face&#x27; in paper format (only), just as well as in a way it makes the stories more memorable for me then the dead and cold e-surrogate.
