Advice on setting up a book reading for a visiting Russian writer in NYC

[Andrea Gregovich]

Hello Folks!

A novel I translated is coming out in early November, and the timing
happens to coincide with when the writer, Vladimir Kozlov, will be in the
states touring several universities showing a documentary film he made. He
is arranging a few readings of the novel along the way, and would like to
do a reading in NYC but he's having trouble getting in touch with his
contacts at Read Russia, who set up a NYC reading for him a few years ago.
Does anyone have any ideas for him (who or where might be interested or
could help)?

The novel is called *USSR: Diary of a Perestroika Kid*. Here's Vladimir's
bio:

VLADIMIR KOZLOV was born in 1972 in Mogilev, an industrial city in what was
then the Belarussian Soviet Socialist Republic. He has written more than a
dozen books of fiction and nonfiction, many of which chronicle youth, punk,
and street culture in the perestroika-era Soviet Union and post-Soviet
Russia and Belarus. Several of his novels have been long-listed for awards
such as the National Best Seller and Big Book in Russia. He was also
nominated for GQ Russia's Writer of the Year in 2011 and 2012. His most
recent novel *Voina *("War") was released in Fall 2013, and since then he's
begun making independent films, including a documentary about the legendary
Siberian punk movement of the 1980s. His short stories have appeared in
translation in AGNI, Hayden's Ferry Review, 3AM Magazine, Guernica, BODY,
the Tin House anthology *Rasskazy *and *Best European Fiction 2015*.

If anyone has any ideas or knows someone who might be interested, please
let me know.

Best,
Andrea Gregovich
