Non-Fiction Memoir
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award
On April 26, 1986, the worst nuclear reactor accident in
history occurred in Chernobyl and contaminated as much as
three quarters of Europe. Voices from Chernobyl is the first
book to present personal accounts of the tragedy. Journalist
Svetlana Alexievich interviewed hundreds of people affected
by the meltdown---from innocent citizens to firefighters to
those called in to clean up the disaster---and their stories
reveal the fear, anger, and uncertainty with which they
still live. Comprised of interviews in monologue form,
Voices from Chernobyl is a crucially important work,
unforgettable in its emotional power and honesty.
