Jacek Dehnel – Edinburgh International Book Festival [SOLD OUT]

16th July, 2018

The impact of the Soviet era extended far beyond the Russian borders. Polish writer Jacek Dehnel and Estonian Andrei Ivanov present remarkable novels which document extraordinary episodes in the lives of ordinary people. Lala is based on the life of Dehnel’s own grandmother in Ukraine and Poland, while Hanuman’s Travels is Ivanov’s autobiographical account of his time in a Danish refugee camp.
