The Phantom of Ukraine
What does it mean to truly know yourself? In “The Phantom of Ukraine”, Yuji Kurosawa is forced to abandon his identity and assume another’s, all to survive a harrowing ordeal. But this isn’t just an identity thriller; it’s a story about resilience, transformation, and the human capacity to adapt. Yuji’s journey—from a naive university student to someone embroiled in international political intrigue—asks important questions about who we are when everything is stripped away. Writing this novel was an exploration of the boundaries of selfhood, and I invite you to join the journey.
