RSVP here: https://www.facebook.com/events/159114972651506

Wednesday, February 3, 2021 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Current literature in Russian defies stereotypes of venerated men writing heavy novels. This event features young Russian-language authors whose roots across Eurasia have led them to break new ground in protest poetry, flash fiction, noir, and more. The February issue of Words Without Borders will center this booming literary generation. Join us for readings from the issue by translators and writers followed by a discussion panel and audience Q&A.

Readers will include ALISA GANIEVA, DANYIL ZADOROZHNYI, SABRINA JASZI, ISAAC WHEELER, ELINA ALTER, and KATHERINE YOUNG. Commentators will include OLGA BREININGER as well as issue editors JOSEPHINE VON ZITZEWITZ and HILAH KOHEN. This event will be hosted by Words Without Borders Editorial Director SUSAN HARRIS.
