PRZEPRACOWAĆ IMPERIUM. ARTUR KLINAU, MIŃSK. PRZEWODNIK PO MIEŚCIE SŁOŃCA
TO PROCESS THE EMPIRE. ARTUR KLINOV’S MINSK:A GUIDE TO THE CITY OF THE SUN

Summary/Abstract: Aleksandra Zywert’s analysis in this article is concerned with modern Belarusian writer Artur Klinov’s Minsk: A Guide to the City of the Sun. With its skillful han-dling of the post-imperial themes, Minsk is both an anatomy of imperialism and an attempt to process it by telling the story of the capital of Belarus, a space spe-cific in its undeniable symbolism. The convention of internal autobiography has allowed Klinov not only to convey the scope of the post-Soviet trauma and suggest a way to come to terms with it, but also to recover his own identity as a Belarusian.
