About

Severed from her homeland and language, the exiled writer at the centre of The Disappearing Act has a lot in common with her creator, Maria Stepanova.

Severed from her homeland and language, the exiled writer at the centre of The Disappearing Act has a lot in common with her creator, Maria Stepanova.

This dreamlike meditation on Russian guilt, tainted identity, and starting over asks whether it is ever really possible to begin again.

One of Russia's greatest living writers, the author of In Memory of Memory explores what remains when home becomes the enemy.

Chaired by Chris Power.
