The audience at the RUssian State Library for the 'Literature, history and mythology' discussion

16 July 2013

Last month in Moscow at the Russian State Library our commissioned book loom by Raw Edges - Bloom - showcased as part of the British Council and Granta’s international partnership focused on the 'Best of Young British Novelists'. Following it's presence at the Milan furniture fair, Moscow is the second location to host Bloom as part of the programme.

 

Granta listed writers Lawrence Norfolk and Ross Raisan were in conversation with Russian author Mikhail Elizarov exploring the topic of ‘literature, history and mythology”. For more information on the event click here, or read Norfolk’s blog here.

Watch this space for more information about Bloom on it's travels - next stop India. You can also read more about the British Council and Granta partnership here.
