What are you going for, wolf?

"What Are You Going For, Wolf?" is a brutally poetic novel about alcohol, memory, and legacy. The main character returns from the West to the Belarusian wilderness to bury her grandmother — and stumbles upon what lies beneath the surface of her past. A swampy tale about sin, love, and the never-ending search for oneself.

Rina, a middle-aged alcoholic, reluctantly goes to her grandmother's funeral in the godforsaken Belarusian wilderness. While her old woman was dying, Rina was busy with strangers in retirement homes in the West. The only thing she wants now is peace. But a surprise awaits her at home - old sins and inheritance cast long shadows. Can you fix everything if you're not even close to being a heroine? Rina needs to bury her grandmother, dig up her lover, and restore the springs, all without ever fully regaining consciousness. The genre of this book is a swamp tale.

"Dog death doesn't count here... But human death? And human life? Questions, questions, questions. The author of the book tries to answer them. But, in general, Belarus is still an unanswered, unresolved question. Let's try together to give birth to our destiny, our country" (Kasya Kamotskaya)
