“Sokolenko writes ‘quasi-autobiographical’ stories, where fact, fiction, and fantasy combine to create a world that is his own and yet, undeniably, ours as well. Composed in various languages, his stories combine anecdotes from he lives of the lives of the artist's afmily, friends, and colleagues with funny and absurd fabrications about celebrities from the worlds of politics, journalism, academia, and the arts. Built up from bits and pieces of texts and anecdotes, and written from a bewildering multiplicity of narrative perspectives, the stories have no real beginnings or endings and, although set in specific places, exist mainly in the conventional space of Sokolenko's imagined world. His characters are at home in the post-modern global world where commercial culture, if it has not yet displaced traditional art and literature, exists alongside them on an equal footing”. A. Anemone.
