Afternoon Book Group: Grey Bees by Andrey Kurkov
Afternoon Book Group: Grey Bees by Andrey Kurkov In-Person
With warm yet politically acute humor, Ukraine's most famous novelist Andrey Kurkov presents a balanced and illuminbating portrait of modern conflict in Grey Bees.
49-year-old safety inspector-turned-beekeeper Sergey Sergeich, wants little more than to help his bees collect their pollen in peace.
But Sergey lives in Ukraine, where a lukewarm war of sporadic violence and constant propaganda has been dragging on for years.
His simple mission on behalf of his bees leads him through some the hottest spots of the ongoing conflict, putting him in contact with combatants and civilians on both sides of the battle lines: loyalists, separatists, Russian occupiers, and Crimean Tatars.
