With “The Archduke who ruled the black market, loved sailors and became my grandfather,” the third novel by Ukrainian writer and journalist Natalka Sniadanko was published in German in 2021. During a reading and a subsequent conversation, the author herself and the translator Maria Weissenböck shed new light on the history of Europe in a “tumultuous century.”

Translated from Ukrainian by Maria Weissenböck.
