“Olga Grushin's extraordinary first novel is so wise and mature that it is tempting to suspect the author's biography is a joke. The Dream Life of Sukhanov is sophisticated, ironic and witty, multilayered, intricately constructed, deeply informed, elegantly written -- the work, one would think, of someone who has been writing and publishing fiction for years, not someone who is doing it for the first time, and doing it in what is not her native language.” Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/05/AR2006010501658.html)
This event is open to the public. No RSVP is necessary, but please call 202-691-4100 the day of the event to confirm. For directions, please see (www.wilsoncenter.org).
