Sapo Mgeladze Book

The Real Story of My Life

Sapo Mgeladze’s “The Real Story of My Life” is a truly important text in many ways. It is elusive in genre, but it intersects between documentary prose and memoir, with elements of a diary, and is unequivocally the “key to the writer’s biography and creativity” (Kupreishvili, 2023). At the same time, the era, the fate of a person and an artist in a repressive state, the multiple layers of gender and power relations. The relationship between the narrative of the text and the historical context in which it was created are read with particular intensity here.
