Description: Set between the multiethnic neighborhoods of New York City and the equally layered landscapes of Makhno's native Halychyna region of Ukraine, the stories in Vasyl Makhno's The House in Baiting Hollow follow immigrants and exiles, survivors and dreamers, who carry anxieties shaped by displacement and histories that refuse to stay buried.
