Visiting Writer from Belarus (based in Moscow) available for readings in April

[Andrea Gregovich]

Dear Colleagues,

Vladimir Kozlov, a Moscow-based Belarusian writer whose work I translate,
is planning a trip to New York in April and would be interested in giving
readings or lectures. His English is fluent, so he can present in Russian
or English. Here is his bio:

Born in 1972, Moscow novelist, journalist, and cultural critic Vladimir
Kozlov grew up in Mogilev, an industrial city in what was then the
Belarussian Soviet Socialist Republic.  He is the author of a dozen books
of fiction and non-fiction, writing largely about Soviet and post-Soviet
popular culture, youth subcultures, the Russian music scene, and coming of
age during *perestroika*. Most recently, he has gained notoriety for his
Soviet period noir detective novel *1986*. His novels *CCCP* and
*Домой*were both long-listed for the Big Book and National Bestseller
literary
awards in Russia, and he has also been nominated for *GQ* Russia's Writer
of the Year in 2011 and 2012. I've published translations of Kozlov's short
stories in *AGNI Review*, *Hayden's Ferry Review*, and *3:AM Magazine*, and
am seeking a publisher for my translation of *СССР*.

Vladimir thinks he can travel around most of the east coast for a reading,
unless arrangements can be made for a flight elsewhere.  His website (
vladimir-kozlov.com) links to a number of his texts in Russian and
translation.  You can contact him directly at his email,
vladimir-v-k at yandex.ru if you are interested in arranging a reading.  You
can also contact me off-list (agregovich at gmail.com) if you would like to
know more about him from his translator's perspective.


 Best,

Andrea Gregovich
