Book Launch: Svetlana Satchkova presents The Undead: A Novel of Modern Russia
In conversation with Mark Krotov
Wine reception to follow
Brooklyn author Svetlana Satchkova launches The Undead, a gripping tale of contemporary Russia. When Maya, a young Russian filmmaker, makes a low-budget horror movie with her friends, it seems like a promising start to a career in indie film. Little does she know that her jokey lo-fi satirical film will soon attract the attention of the autocratic censors at the highest levels of the Russian police state. What follows is a propulsive narrative of an artist being crushed by state power, and the choices that one makes within a system where free expression is literally illegal. Written with the undeniable voice of an emigre from Putin’s Russia, The Undead serves as a parable, and a warning, about political oppression. Mark Krotov, coeditor and publisher of , joins Satchkova to discusses the tense and piercing story before an audience Q&A and signing.
