But, nevertheless, they are known, their books are read. Therefore, many are interested in the history of these young writers.
We will begin with Irena. Although, no one is sure that she really Irena. The girl has always liked to confuse both journalists and readers, never telling herself about the exact information. But, nevertheless, if we believe the universally recognized facts, Karpa was born in Cherkassy. Then, her family moved to Ivanovo-Frankivsk. But they did not live long in this city either. Now their family lives in Yaremche. A small town, located right in the Carpathians, with clean and fresh air and amazing nature - this is the place where Irena and her younger sister Galya grew up. The girl has always loved extreme adventure. She never sat still, as, however, does not sit now. Most of her books are autobiographical. If in her youth she loved to travel in the mountains, and then, to travel all over Ukraine, now, Karpa goes to India, then to Malaysia, then to Indonesia. She was never frightened by illness, steep ascent, or steep rocks. She talks about this in her books. Of course, Irena not only traveled. She also studied at the Moscow University - Kyiv National Linguistic University, the branch of French philosophy.
By the way, Irena is not only a writer, but also a singer. First, she performed in the group "Faqity-wise themselves," and then organized her band and named her own name - "Qarpa". For today she is one of the most shocking singers of Ukraine. The girl herself writes texts that are both funny, and brutal, and quite serious and lyrical.
The first book that Irena wrote was called "Znaz Palenogo." By the way, this book is now very, very difficult to find both on book shelves and on the Internet. This first book was so special and ambiguous that Irene started talking. Then there was a book "50 hvilin grass", and after it - "Freud bi plakav." It can not be said that these books have become a special breakthrough. But, thanks to them, the girl earned the attention of fans who could not perceive her too brutal creativity. Since then, Irena's books have been more lyrical and brutal. Critics say one thing about them, and readers are quite another. For example, "Good and evil" critics called the book a loser, and readers, on the contrary, recognized it as one of the best in 2009. However, Irena never paid attention to what the press and critics say about her. Most likely, it does not care what the readers say. She just writes about what she thinks. She is not afraid to be frank, to be crazy. Be patriotic. Surprisingly, in her books this writer knows how to combine everything.
True, Irena has now settled down a little. Probably, the fact is that the writer finally found her own happiness. With love and relationships, Irena was as messy and complicated as in her books. For example, she married Anton Frindland and almost immediately divorced. But, with the second marriage, the girl seemed to be lucky. Her husband is American financier Norman Paul Gensen. On 7th of August 2010, the couple had a daughter. The girl was named Korena-Gia. This is a Tibetan name. However, there is nothing surprising in this choice, because Irene loves Tibet and has visited these regions more than once. To date, Irena is a writer who has already created about ten books, became a famous singer and lover of the public. It is special and outrageous. Irena has never tried to please anyone, she always said what she thinks about her and other people's. But, at the same time, not only the Ukrainian public adores her, but also the foreign one.
And what about Lyubka Derasha? The guy is a Lviv resident who studied at the Physics and Mathematics Lyceum and at the Faculty of Economics of Lviv National Ivan Frank University. He almost impressed his readers with the first book, The Cult. Darash was able to combine the realities of modern youth life and mysticism. Lyubko became a "novelty", for the Ukrainian literature of that time. Nobody expected that a young fellow like Darash could write such a serious, interesting and original work. After the "Cult" Lyubko wrote many books, such as "Arche", "lizard worship", "A little darkness", "Intention". By the way, Lyubka wrote "worship of a lizard" earlier than the "Cult", but it was the "Cult" that was decided to be printed in the literary magazine "Chetver". Now Lyubka's books are translated into German, Polish, Italian, Serbian and Russian.
It is so interesting for young people today, because he writes interesting stories about their lives. In addition, his books are far from the classics. In them you can see slang, and mate, and lingo, and dialect. And young people have always loved to read something that does not invest in the generally accepted standards and nomas of society. Also, the books have descriptions of visions that come to the characters under the influence of various hallucinogenic substances. Of course, this is of interest to young audiences. Although many people who read Daresh's books in their youth, now consider it to be quite simple and calculated for a young age. But, anyway, that they do not speak, both Lyubko and Irena are the stars of modern Ukrainian literature, on which many novice writers want to look like.
