Told in both English and German, this book is not a conventional narrative but a fractured experience—one that mirrors lives shaped by surveillance, ritual, and silent obedience. Over the span of ten years, the text traces a descent into a world where power is omnipresent yet unnamed, where uniforms and colors determine fate, and where survival often requires forgetting who you once were.
Shifting between stark instruction and surreal, dreamlike scenes, the prose blurs meaning, repetition, and memory. Language itself becomes unstable: words echo, fracture, and reform, reflecting a reality where nothing is fully explained and nothing is truly safe. What appears ordinary—meals, conversations, routines—slowly reveals a grotesque system beneath the surface.
This book is for readers drawn to dystopian atmospheres, literary experimentation, and psychological unease. English & German — Every Day does not offer comfort or clear answers. Instead, it invites you into a mirrored labyrinth and asks a single, unsettling question:
How much of yourself can you erase and still remain human?
Marina Kopyl is a bilingual writer whose work explores power, memory, and the quiet violence of systems that govern everyday life. Writing across English and German, she is drawn to fractured narratives, liminal spaces, and the emotional tension that exists between order and chaos.
Her writing resists linear storytelling, favoring repetition, dissonance, and sensory detail to create immersive psychological landscapes. Influenced by dystopian literature, surrealism, and lived observation, Marina Kopyl examines how identity is shaped—and reshaped—under pressure.
English & German — Every Day is a reflection of her interest in language as both a tool of control and a means of survival. Through unstable syntax and shifting perspectives, she invites readers to experience uncertainty rather than simply observe it.
