Please join us for a reading of poetry and prose by Sergey Gandlevsky, followed by a Q&A session. The reading will be in Russian with no translation in English.
Sergey Gandlevsky is one of the most important living Russian poets. A participant in the underground literary scene before perestroika and member of the Moscow Time literary group, Gandlevsky started publishing only in the late 1980s. He has won numerous prizes, including the Little Booker (best prose debut) for his "autobiographical novella” Trepanation of the Skull (1996, English translation by Susanne Fusso). His novel Illegible (2002, recently translated into English by Susanne Fusso) was short-listed for the Russian Booker Prize. In 2010, Gandlevsky received the Russian national Poet prize, the most important prize for poetry in Russia. Gandlevsky’s poems have been translated into English and many other languages. He lives in Moscow.
