The Railway is a poet's novel, full of memorable descriptive passages and heart-wrenching asides.
Robert Chandler will read from his co-translation of SOUL by Andrey Platonov (Harvill Secker & NYRB Classics).
Razia Sultanova,"the acclaimed London-based Islamic singer" (The Irish Times) will play the dutar and sing. Razia Sultanova is the director of the Centre for Central Asian music at the University of Cambridge.
