Maria Genkin, co-owner of the Ukrainian book club in New York, spoke about the reasons for its creation. According to her, every time she flew home, she brought back a large number of books with her back to New York. But there was no one to discuss what was read, she recalls. Therefore, together with their friends, and now co-owners of business, they decided to create the first book club in the largest city in the United States of America.
Now the Ukrainian Book Club in New York unites not only Ukrainians, but also Americans of Ukrainian origin. Overall, its doors are open to anyone who likes to read. Maria calls club meetings “social therapy”.
Initially, not too many people came to the club. However, over time, the circle of visitors expanded. Now at least 10 people come to monthly meetings that take place every one and a half to two months.
Club members choose books to read by voting. They often focus on what works have been awarded prizes and awards in Ukraine. The most difficult thing is to find printed copies in New York, Maria notes. The fact is that there are no Ukrainian books in America. Therefore, they have to be ordered in Ukraine. Books are delivered from Ukraine by relatives and friends of club members who are flying to the USA.
