Olga Kostiuk
Olga Kostiuk is a Belarusian author currently residing in New Zealand, where she works as a teaching assistant. Born in the village of Radchitsk in the Stolin district of Belarus, she has transitioned from writing in Russian to exploring themes of decolonization through Belarusian and English literature. After a 15-year hiatus from writing triggered by harsh criticism of her early work, she returned to literature inspired by the political upheaval in Belarus and her own personal experiences. Her debut collection of stories, "Dubovye Yablochki," reflects on Belarusian life and protest following the events of 2020, showcasing her unique voice and the use of regional dialects.
