![]() ![]() It’s a hilarious and profound novel about the aftermath of the USSR’s fall, as seen through the eyes of one Kyiv-based journalist. Briony worked with Kurkov when his novel Death and the Penguin was first translated to English by George Bird and published in the UK to great success. My friend, editor Briony Everroad introduced me to Kurkov’s work many years ago. I expect this event to be sold out–don’t wait to reserve your tickets. As horrific as Russia’s war on Ukraine has been, Kurkov’s point of view is illuminating and delivered with kindness and respect for the readers. He will be presenting a new book called DIARY OF INVASION (Deep Vellum Press) that collects some of these stories. ![]() He has traveled widely in Ukraine and the world, collecting stories and communicating the realities of this war in the premier English-language newspapers and magazines. Andrey Kurkov has been one of the most vocal voices in the West in support of Ukraine. I am delighted to have the opportunity to interview one of Ukraine’s best-known authors, and an author whose work I’ve been admiring for so many years, Andrey Kurkov, as a part of Litquake’s year-round series The Epicenter. ![]()
