About the Event
For this upcoming Coffee House luncheon, we welcome author Tatsiana Zamirovskaya for a conversation about her life and work.
About the Speaker
Tatsiana Zamirovskaya is a Belarusian author who moved to Brooklyn in 2015 after working for 15 years as a journalist and music critic in Belarusian independent media. She writes metaphysical and socially charged fiction about memory, ghosts, hybrid identities and borders between empires and languages. She is the author of three short story collections in Russian and a novel about digital resurrection and digital dictatorships, The Deadnet (2021), which was shortlisted in several Russophone literary awards.
Her recent autofiction book of memoir essays on emigration, war, music and displacement, Eurydice, check if you turned off the gas, was published in 2024 by a Belarusian independent publisher in exile in Warsaw, Poland, also becoming a bestseller. Tatsiana’s most recent book, Candles of Apocalypse, based on her tragicomic memoirs of an immigrant art school student working at a French luxury candle boutique, published in Russian language, was sold out in a week.
Tatsiana has been working for Voice of America as an editor and journalist, until it shut down in March 2025.
