Conversation on Writing with Anastasia Dubinina

Dear readers, For those in London next weekend, I’ll be participating in a conversation at the the dalston longe on May 7th (Wednesday) at 7pm. The evening will focus on writing across cultural and linguistic boundaries—something that has shaped my work from “Life on the Island” through “Anonymous Letters.” I’ll be discussing how displacement can become a creative advantage, the challenge of maintaining authentic voice while moving between languages, and how different cultural influences inform narrative structure and character development. There will be time for questions and discussion afterward. Having recently received the Creativitys UK Award, I’m especially looking forward to sharing thoughts on how genre boundaries can be productively blurred, and how psychological depth can coexist with narrative tension. Space is limited, so booking in advance is recommended. Hope to see some of you there. “The best stories exist between borders—geographic, linguistic, and imaginary.” — Writer Anastasia Dubinina
