Maryna Sokolyan is a Ukrainian author. The critical reviews define her work as "uncommon event in a contemporary fiction", and draw attention to the exquisite and well-cultivated language and to the complex intellectual references towards English literature. She was born 18 December 1979 in Poltava, in the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union (in present-day Ukraine). In 2002 she graduated from Kyiv-Mohyla Academy with an MA in sociology.
