New Voices in Russian Literature

A new generation of Russian writers visits Harvard. Young authors, all finalists for Russia’s Debut Prize, will read from their works and share reflections on art and freedom in today’s Russia. This is a critical juncture in the history of Russia—the Perestroika and post-Soviet generations are being displaced by a new generation for which the USSR is mere history. Theirs is a complex new Russia, which they strive to represent in their literary works.
