Andrukhovych is a prominent Ukrainian writer whose books most of us love dearly. This year his visit to US is supported by a Fulbright Scholarship. Working at Pennsylvania State University he will translate American poets of 50-th and 60-th into Ukrainian. Our association organized a visit of Mr. Adrukhovych to give several talks at Stanford in April, 2001.In Ukraine Andrukhovych is known as a one of the strongest figures - almost a cult writer - of the new literature that took off the ground due to political ease of late-80th and independence of 1992. You will also find his presence in the English speaking world:
