Queer Love, Soviet Summers: Bringing Pioneer Summer into English
Reading and conversation with Anne Fisher
Join us for a reading and conversation with translator Anne Fisher, moderated by Alex Averbuch. Pioneer Summer—the #1 TikTok bestseller by Elena Malisova and Katerina Silvanova—tells the story of a forbidden gay romance at a Soviet pioneer camp in 1986. Banned in Russia for its LGBTQ themes, the novel became a global phenomenon and a powerful symbol of resistance to censorship.
