Immediately following Russias invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Nora Krug connected with two anonymous subjectsK., a Ukrainian journalist, and D., a Russian artistand began what would become a year of correspondence. Diaries of War transforms Krugs weekly communications with K. and D. into an intimate, illustrated epistolary format.In both the graphic adaptation of Timothy Snyders On Tyranny and Krugs own memoir, Belonging, Krug touched on difficult, contentious topics, from personal and societal identity to political conflict and more, with immense skill and compassion. She brings the same moving thoughtfulness to this collection.With millions of Ukrainians displaced, injured, or killed as a result of the conflict, Krug provides a personal look at the sorrowful effects of war on an individual levelsuch as loss of resources, emotional and existential distress, displacement and disconnection.
