Author Event with Sarah D. Phillips, author of ” Kurt Vonnegut in the USSR”

Join us for an evening with author and IU professor Sarah D. Phillips to celebrate the release of her new book, Kurt Vonnegut in the USSR. Sarah will be joined in conversation for this event by William Morris, host of WFIU’s Soul Kitchen.

A work at the intersection of anthropology, history, and literary, translation, American, and Slavic studies, Kurt Vonnegut in the USSR is a close look at the unique contexts around an author and his readers, and the legacies of this literary cultural diplomacy in American and post-Soviet literary cultures today.
