A conversation on the newly translated book The Language of War by Oleksandr Mykhed. Mstyslav Chernov, the Oscar-winning director of 20 Days in Mariupol, says: “Mykhed tackles the immense challenge of finding a language that can convey the horror and absurdity of war, and he does so with devastating impact. Mykhed skillfully assembles recollections, anecdotes, portraits, and conversations alongside a catalogue of war crimes, creating a uniquely powerful account of what has happened to Ukraine since February 2022. Both deeply personal and universally significant, this book should be required reading for all.” Chaired by the Guardian's senior international affairs correspondent Emma Graham-Harrison.
