\u201c50 procent racji\u201d\u00a0 is an excellent series of satirical stories about the life of the citizens of the USSR and later free Ukraine. Their form refers to the tradition of the skazka ( from skazat – to tell), whose master was the somewhat forgottenMikhail Zoshchenko. Undoubtedly, Bojczenko is the master. It\u2019s equivalent to the Czech comedy in prose – seemingly trivial stories that hide deep wisdom and knowledge of contemporary times (the final text in the cycle concerns the year 2015). The author puts his cards on the table. \u201cGenerally, it\u2019s good to have a sense of humour. It\u2019s not so good when it\u2019s impossible to explain that joking wasn\u2019t intended\u201d.\u00a0 The personal essays form a picture of the reality of Czerniowiec, Lviv, Crimea, or Warsaw and Wroc\u0142aw.\u00a0 The texts are sharp but also nostalgic, with paragraphs that would bring no shame to any philosopher:<\/span><\/p>\n

“When I hear someone – no matter which side – start beating their chests and shout out “this is our land,” I immediately imagine a day-old butterfly on a branch of a thousand-year-old Californinan redwood. The creature sits on it, full of plans for the future, and says: “My redwood.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
