Richard Lloyd Parry & Andrey Kurkov: How to Resist

Political fiction helps us to make sense of, interrogate, and criticise the realities of enforced political systems on our daily lives. The venerable Times foreign correspondent Richard Lloyd Parry brings us the Conrad-esque In the Green Heart; and with The Stolen Heart, one of Ukraine's greatest living writers, Andrey Kurkov, embodies his country's irrepressible spirit of improvisational anarchy. Today, we meet these two eminent authors to question - resistance at what cost? Chaired by Nick Barley.
