Today's Russian Literary Greats

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

The Russian Literary Festival in London gave 麻豆社 Russian's arts and culture correspondent, Alexander Kan, a chance to talk to some of the big names among contemporary writers. He shares his favourites, including Boris Akunin, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Victor Pelevin and Dmitry Glukhovsky, and treats us to a reading from Vladimir Sorokin's The Day of the Oprichnik.
