- Olha Tytarenko (Slavic & East European Journal, vol 58:04:2014) "The Intellectual as Hero in 1990s Ukrainian Fiction is an important study that reflects on Ukraines process of post-Soviet identity formation...To a contemporary audience, this study serves as a reminder of an era of experimental discursive freedom, a time that we reflect upon today with a great deal of nostalgia."
