Russendisko

Russendisko is Wladimir Kaminer's "baby", it is the title of his first book (published in English as "Russian Disco") as well as an actual biweekly event in Berlin.

Yesterday, he was reading here in Frankfurt, partly from his last book but mostly new, unpublished and unread material, yay! Reading his books is nice but hearing him read (and talk for that matter) in his irresistible Russian accent is simply the best. So damn funny, especially when you see his expression and gestures at the same time.


I had planned to take photos of him, so it came as a bit of a shock that it was not allowed to use the flash. Nevertheless I think I managed quite well without and during the signature session that followed with use of flash.
