Olga’s Book Party: Russian-American Literature in Context

That book is in Russian, but to celebrate its release with her San Francisco peers, Olga’s hosting an English-language party, dedicated to exploring how Russian literature and Russian themes have acted within the global, and more specifically, American context. Russian literature offers a long tradition of resistance—to the tsar, to the Communist regime, to the new age of hybrid warfare. Come join the conversation and be inspired by the language of resistance.

Guest readers presenting their original work include Anthony Marra, Yanina Gotsulsky, Anastasia Edel.

The formal part of the afternoon will be followed by a participatory reading. Sign up for a chance to read five to seven minutes of material, English originals or excerpts from your favorite 20th or 21st Century Russian-language writers in English translation. To sign up, contact Olga Zilberbourg.
