Awesome. John McPhee groused that “nonfiction—what the hell, that just says, this is nongrapefruit we’re having this morning.”

Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2005. It presented a sequence of short, first-person narratives: the firefighter who gave his helmet to his son, only to have his son die of brain cancer; the woman who cradled her dying husband in her arms while a nurse cautioned, “that’s not a person anymore, that’s a nuclear reactor.”
Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
That said, I'll have to check her work out. Congratulations, Svetlana!
