On Monday, June 9th, at 7:30 p.m., Greenlight Bookstore will host a panel discussion about BAM’s upcoming production of The Old Woman, adapted from a short story by Daniil Kharms, co-founder of the OBERIU.

The panelists are: Eugene Ostashevsky and Matvei Yankelevich, translators of Alexander Vvedensky: An Invitation for Me to Think; Mark Krotov, editor of Today I Wrote Nothing: The Selected Writings of Daniil Kharms; and panel moderator Ian Dreiblatt.
