What to Read M ychajlo Osadchyi. BIL’MO. (C ataract). A vtobiohrafichnyj narys. Paris. Baltim ore. У. Sy- monenko Ukrainian Publishers Smoloskyp. 1971. 208 pages. The last decade has b ro u g h t us quite a few o u tstand ing w orks from th e “underground” or “sam vydav” press in U kraine. A m ong th em is O sadchyj’s Cata ract. Philosophical depth and b itin g satire, successful lit e rary devices and touching epi sodes p u t th is book on th e level er to th is celebration. M rs. T ait is th e Food E d ito r of th e new s p aper in charge of th e Food Guide section. A lthough she w as unable to attend, Mr. E . Eddow s rep resen ted h er and p h o to g rap h ed th e b eautifully decorated fes tive table. The trad itio n al 12 dishes w ere p repared by M es dam es: I. Y urchak, C. P erfecky, V. A ndrejczyk, Z. K unasz, S. Hollaway, and L. B uhaj. M rs. L. D ychdala baked a m agnificent “kolach.” The president of th e branch M rs. Irene Y urchak and th e vice-pres. M rs. C hristine P erfecky prepared a resum e of U krainian C hristm as trad itio n s and dishes for M rs. T ait in th e E nglish language, as well as several U krainian recipes. M rs. E laine T a it’s article about th e U krainian E piphany Eve fe a st appeared in th e Sunday Jan. 21 edition of th e Philadel phia Inquirer, w hich reaches close to th ree m illion read ers in th e D elaw are V alley. I t w as th e firs t page fe a tu re sto ry of th e Food Guide. M rs. T ait described th e E piphany E ve trad itio n s, th e tw elve dishes, and gave detailed recipies fo r v arenyky and holub- ci. Two p ictu res enhanced th e story. The response to th is a r ticle w as trem endous. M any A m ericans called no t only th e Inquirer, b u t also m em bers of B ranch 98 req u estin g in fo rm a tion about U krainian cookery, culture, arts, and crafts. M rs. T ait prom ised th a t in th e fu tu re o th er sim ilar articles would ap p ear in th e Inquirer. of S olzhenitsyn’s “One D ay.” It is a book w hich should d efin ite ly be tran slate d into m any lan guages. T he th irty -tw o year old a u th o r instead of a Ph.D. diplom a received a th ree y ear sentence in Soviet prisons and cam ps (al though his d issertatio n on U krainian lite ra tu re w as already accepted). Cataract com prises of p oetry and prose sections. The la tte r is m ore th a n an au to biographical n arratio n of an e ru dite prisoner. It is m ore th a n a sim ple description of one m an ’s prison sentence, of a “zek’s” life in M ordovia, USSR. It is a m ost talented p resen tatio n of cinem a tograp hic and su rrealistic epi sodes full of philosophical obser vations. In his cam p recollection Osad- chyj shows us glim pses of well know n U krainian intellectuals (such as Zalyvacha, Shevchuk, H evrych, S oroka), as well as those of o th er nationalities (th e L atvian poet Skuenienks, th e R ussians Sinyavsky and D an iel). W e are exposed to th e events of everyday cam p life w hich also reflects th e p riso n ers’ cravings fo r o th er needs besides th e ev eryday bread: we see unique and in terestin g descriptions of th e large in tern atio n al intellectual cam p com m unity and th e ir lite r ary com m em orations •— UN style. They organized (secret ly) p rogram s dedicated to Ivan F ranko, or R ustavelli or Rai- nis . . . The p oetry section contains O sadchyj‘s th irty -o n e longer and sh o rter poem s, all w ritten d uring his im prisonm ent. T here are also a few poem s w hich are assum ed to be his tran slatio n s of p o etry from o th er languages. Cataract m ay well serve as an eye opener fo r those, who still believe in th e existence of ju stice in Soviet co u rts; b u t O sadchyj's first-h a n d experience in 1966-67 will definitely prove th e opposite to th em .
