Lecture 'How Not to Fall Into the Trap of Love'

Denis Dragunsky, a well-known master of short prose and the author of many collections of novellas about human relationships, invites you to an evening dedicated to love. His works are compared to O’Henry and Maupassant, but he gave the genre a unique twist: concise, expressive parables that contain entire novels within them. At the meeting, new works will be read—full of wisdom, humor, and realism. This is a great chance to enjoy the author’s writing and discuss the themes of spring, love, and life, as well as ask your own questions. Dragunsky believes that in love it’s important to preserve one’s own identity and dignity, without sacrificing them in the name of love. He is an authority in the genre of short stories, a teacher, screenwriter, and journalist, with more than 1,200 works to his name—and the son of children’s writer Viktor Dragunsky.
