"This collection is conceived as one story told through different stories," says Katerina Babkina's collection of stories, "My grandfather danced better than anyone." In one of the interviews, a young Ukrainian writer notes that he is interested in the past of his country, not as a list of abstract events, but as a concrete, completely ordinary people's experience. "I want to know what shaped modern Ukrainians into what they are today: what tragedies, what hardships, what circumstances, what social norms."
"My grandfather danced better than anyone" combines 12 short stories that tell the story of five interconnected families. Sometimes the action takes place in Kharkiv in the 1920s, sometimes in the Donbass of the 21st century, the author does not ignore the traumas of the Second World War, nor the tragedy of the Holodomor, but manages to do all this by telling the stories of individual people and their families.
Another quote from Babkina's interview: “This book is, first of all, about accepting the past. How circumstances affect us – regardless of whether we know anything about those circumstances or not. This is a book about the connection of generations, the search for love, loneliness, losses - understood or not understood, justified or regretted. And, most importantly, about the fact that even in the most difficult circumstances, a person has the opportunity not to break down and seek happiness."
