Summary/Abstract: The article is a review of Tamara Gundorova’s book Tranzytna kultura. Symptomy postkolonialnoji travmy: statti ta eseji, published in Kiev in 2013. It discusses the structure of the book and summarizes some crucial aspects of an original cultural theory developed there. Gundorova analyzes works of the most eminent contemporary Ukrainian writers, but her interest goes beyond literature: through literary fiction she describes what she calls the transitionality of Ukrainian culture: a long-lasting, stable and overwhelming condition of postcolonial dependency.
