«The first edition of this book entitled „Chernobyl: Chronicle of the Future“ was published in 1998… and throughout the decade Svetlana Alexievich has continued further work on the book: she has recorded new interviews, introduced new characters in the next editions — someone with a monologue, someone with a line — she has added, expunged, written up and rewritten something, so the book has grown and changed over the years like a single living creature. When, after all the Nobel calls, conversations, and greetings Ms. Svetlana and I came to an agreement that the book should be republished in Ukraine, to my utter surprise, I met a book totally different than it was 18 years ago. At least, this time it was read differently» (From the foreword of Oksana Zabuzhko).
