In this luminous and quietly unsettling collection of short stories, Vasyl Makhno moves across continents, generations, and inner lives to explore what it means to belong—and what it costs to remember.Set between the multiethnic neighborhoods of New York City and the equally layered landscapes of Makhno’s native Halychyna region of Ukraine, these stories uncover unexpected echoes between past and present, old worlds and new. Immigrants and exiles, survivors and dreamers, carry anxieties shaped by displacement and histories that refuse to stay buried. A Russian White Guard officer wandering New York, an undocumented immigrant in Brooklyn, a Jewish shopkeeper on the eve of the Nazi and Soviet invasions of 1939, and a village woman trying to save her son from postwar repression all confront loneliness, moral uncertainty, and attempt to preserve their fragile identity in the face of upheaval.Written with subtle irony, emotional restraint, and deep empathy, The House in Baiting Hollow reveals how memory travels across borders and how the wounds of history persist in everyday life. At once intimate and expansive, this collection is a powerful meditation on migration, loss, and the quiet resilience of human values.

Paper Bridge is the first bilingual collection by Ukrainian poet Vasyl Makhno, a "master of the contemporary Ukrainian Ballad, who builds a lifeline for the broken-hearted wanderers, homeless heartbreakers, hopeless romantics, and helpful ironists," in the words of Valzhyna Mort, winner of the Griffin Poetry prize. Makhno's bridge extends to us all, serving whatever purpose we need it to, as Lidijia Dimkovska, author of A Spare Life, writes, "it is a bridge that can burn or resist... but it is a witness to the existence of a traveler through souls, bodies, and spirits, through our own subconsciousness." With this outstanding collection of poems, Makhno is able to preserve an "enviable spiritual equilibrium...one that grinds out the music even in the toughest of days, a music that survived the twentieth century and keeps alive in the new horrors of the twenty-first," in the words of Los Angeles Book Prize winner Ilya Kaminsky, "and now despite it all, even in his room in New York City away from Ukraine, [Makhno] can still hear how 'old age sings' how it 'nervously forces the music into a rhythm," and how 'it might falter, but it plays again.'"
