We've got some difficult days ahead, but it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop. I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will, and he has allowed me to go up to the mountain, and I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight, that we as a people will get to the promised land. Martin Luther Jr.: I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord. Joe Biden: 12 years ago, I was waiting at the train station in Wilmington for a Black man to pick me up on our way to Washington, where we were sworn in as President and Vice President of the United States of America. And here we are today, my family and I, about to return to Washington to meet a Black woman of South Asian descent to be sworn in as President and Vice President of the United States.

Europe and the West undertook virtually no action to prevent these events and protect Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty. In 1931, at the time of the Stalin-orchestrated famine-genocide in Ukraine, the Ukrainian poet Oleksandr Oles' wrote "Remembrance", lamenting the deaths in Ukraine and pleading for help. I copied his poem onto the surface of accrued collaged reports of the latest Russian aggressions. Each stanza ends with the refrain "And Europe was silent", mournfully echoing Ukraine's plight today. Map of Ukraine I am Ukrainian-American, a child of World War II refugees from Ukraine. Like many Americans, I am defined by two cultures – that of my displaced Ukrainian family, and that of the U.S.A where I was born, raised, and continue to live and work. Two trips to Ukraine were pivotal turning points for me in my Notes: #3 creative work and world view. Map of Ukraine - In 1991, I visited Ukraine for the first time. In the cities of L’viv and Kyiv, the capital, I saw the destructive vestiges of the Soviet regime, but also witnessed the beginnings of a national reclamation .

Several students put their heads down and promptly looked at their phones. My eyes must have revealed some concern. Their teacher explained: “They are using Google Translate to help with their English. They recently moved to Canada from Syria.” One student waved me down to show what she had written: “I understand this history. My government is trying to starve our population into submission.” Since 2018, I have been working as program manager and lead educator for the Holodomor National Awareness Tour on their Holodomor Mobile Classroom (HMC).

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Maddening Truths: Literary Authority and Fictive Authenticity in Francophone and Post-Soviet Women’s Writing A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature by Melanie Veronica Jones 2021 © Copyright by Melanie Veronica Jones 2021 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Maddening Truths: Literary Authority and Fictive Authenticity in Francophone and Post-Soviet Women’s Writing by Melanie Veronica Jones Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Los Angeles, 2021 Professor David MacFadyen, Co-Chair Professor Laure Murat, Co-Chair At the start of the “post-truth” era, women writers in post-colonial France and post-Soviet Russia were searching for a strategy to respond to the crises of authority and authenticity unfolding around them. Linda Lê, Gisèle Pineau, Ludmilla Petrushevskaya, and Anna Starobinets exploit the ambiguity of literary madness to destabilize traditional sites of knowledge and work towards new conceptions of truth. All four women’s works have traditionally been approached as narratives of trauma, detailing the ravages of mental illness or cultural upheaval. This dissertation argues that they instead work to expose the irreconcilability of medical, sociological, and spiritual authorities, forcing readers to constantly question who (if anyone) can be considered trustworthy and which ii (if any) perspective can be declared reliable. The texts provide fictional reference points, like intertextual allusions and meta-literary framing, as the surest way for readers to anchor their assumptions. Linda Lê’s autofictional text Calomnies and Gisèle Pineau’s autobiographical novel Chair Piment depict a Francophone world wracked with social fractures in the wake of decolonization and economic crisis: amidst the splintering chaos, literature acts as a tenuous web holding contradictory discourses in suspension.
