Novel, 221 School Rd, Sheffield

Join us in conversation with feminist author Evgenia Nekrasova, author of She-bear, Mordovian Cross and other novels and short stories exploring corporeality, power, violence, magic, and folklore in contemporary women’s lives.

Evgenia will read her short story She-Bear and share her insights on writing and enduring in times of catastrophe.

Evgenia Nekrasova (b.1985) is a writer, poet, and co-founder of the School of Literary Practices (since 2020), which has shaped a new wave of Russian-language writers. Despite publicly opposing the war, she continues to primarily reside in Russia, illustrating the complexities individuals often face in balancing their personal beliefs with their living circumstances.
