The Book I [Didn’t] Write (Ukrainian: Книжка, яку я [не] писала) by Maryana Bozhko is a deeply personal and inventive modern novel. Born out of a “Method Writing” course, this work weaves together short texts that gradually coalesce into a cohesive narrative of self-discovery, authorship, and transformation.
With 188 pages in a compact 145 × 205 mm paperback format, this edition is both intimate and accessible. The story follows Maya, who yearns to write a book that gets published. But first, she must find her own voice, her identity, and reconcile with family, friendships, and love. What begins as a creative exercise becomes a novel about growing up—not just as a writer, but as a human being.
This edition preserves Bozhko’s authentic voice in Ukrainian, with no illustrations, in a lightweight, portable format. It’s ideal for readers of literary fiction, contemporary Ukrainian literature, and anyone navigating their inner creative journey.
