Time and reminiscence play key roles in defining who we’re. What we keep in mind is one in every of our few weapons towards time’s pure powers of erasure. On this extremely digitised period, we could inform ourselves that even after we grow to be irrelevant, we won’t be forgotten. However who will keep in mind us, how will they interpret our lives and what’s going to that inform them about who they are?
Forgottenness, initially printed in Ukraine in 2016, ties collectively the previous and current of two people born on the identical day 100 years aside. The primary is the narrator, a anonymous younger feminine author going by an id disaster. The second is a twentieth century thinker and would-be politician Viacheslav Lypynskyi, who commits his life to the concept of Ukraine.
