Second-Hand Time is the latest work from Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature for inventing \'a new kind of literary genre\'.
Fashioning a singular, polyphonic literary form by combining extended individual monologues with a collage of voices, Alexievich.
Here she brings together the voices of dozens of witnesses to the collapse of the USSR in a formidable attempt to chart the disappearance of a culture and to surmise what new kind of man may emerge from the rubble.
