On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident 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. Composed of interviews in monologue form, Voices from Chernobyl is a crucially important work of immense force, unforgettable in its emotional power and honesty and a National Book Critics Circle Award winner.

Crafting 'Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster', Svetlana Alexievich interviewed over 500 witnesses to true ruination. Layering a narrative with a patina of voices was part of my vision for The Marigold - a slow apocalypse drizzling out into the streets. https://t.co/BkNijWjJml
