Yana Zgurskaya is a writer and a translator born and residing in Kazakhstan. Her writing is largely centered around working with memory and lived experience, as well as exploring the relationship between form and content. While at Nes, she has been piecing together a series of flash fictions, expanding them into a novel-length manuscript that explores themes of identity, displacement, human condition, and what it means to be a human—a woman—a girl—a self.
