A true story

“It’s hard for an author to compete with reality, which is more absurd than anything you can imagine,” says Russian writer and critic Alisa Ganieva. Unlike most of her fellow authors, she writes consistently about contemporary Russia – particularly the north Caucasus, her own homeland. Her novels do not hesitate to address religious conflict, corruption and authoritarian Russian interpretations of history.

Ganieva meets Ingunn Lunde, a professor of Russian, for a conversation on Russian literature, understanding history and how true literary fiction can be.

The conversation will be in English.
