A wonderful recent interview with #TatianaTibuleac on her birthday.
„Grandma talked about Siberia all the time, but with few words. Hell, that's what she said,” Moldovan/Romanian author Tatiana Țîbuleac told me of her family deported during the Soviet occupation of Moldova. We spoke about war, Russification, womanhood: apofenie.com/interviews/2022…

It’s out! So happy to finally hold this in my hands & start sharing & discussing it as more than an ongoing project, but as a result of the most sustained, instructive, creative, thought-provoking & humbling interdisciplinary dialogue I’ve had with a coauthor in the past years.
