Казус Кукоцкого

Ulitskaya's blending of individual lives with larger historical events creates a layered reading experience. I'm curious how she decided where to draw the line between personal and collective history.

The book raises complex questions about morality and complicity that seem to hit differently depending on personal history. Would love to hear if others felt that connection.

Ulitskaya's own history seems woven into the narrative, but I'm wondering how much of her personal experience shaped the characterization and themes.
