What Are You Going For, Wolf?
What Are You Going For, Wolf? — a brutally poetic novel about alcohol, memory, and legacy. The main character returns from the West to the Belarusian wilderness to bury her grandmother — and stumbles upon what lies beneath the surface of her past. A swampy tale about sin, love, and the never‑ending search for oneself. Rina, a middle‑aged alcoholic, reluctantly goes to her grandmother’s funeral in a godforsaken Belarusian wilderness. While her grandmother was dying, Rina cared for strangers in retirement homes in the West. The only thing she wants now is peace. But old sins and inheritance cast long shadows. Rina must bury her grandmother, dig up her lover, and restore the springs without ever fully regaining consciousness — the genre of this book is a swamp tale.
