Andrey Kurkov: The Lost Soldiers
- Main Information
How could a squad of Red Army soldiers have disappeared from the Galician bathhouse, leaving only their boots and their uniforms as evidence they ever existed?
We are delighted to be hosting Andrey Kurkov, Ukraine's greatest living novelist and a commentator and journalist on Ukraine for the international media. His novel Death and the Penguin is an international bestseller, and he joins us to talk about his Kyiv Mysteries series, the third of which is published this Spring. In this third volume, Kurkov vividly depicts a city filled with political turbulence and eccentric characters - and draws playful parallels with the present day.
In conversation with Jacqui Hodgson.
