Samara Literary Festival

Abstract

Let’s start with the following statement: there is literature, writers and active readers in Samara. And it’s not only and not so much about libraries, bookstores, and professional literary critics, not about the sensational arrival of Frederic Beigbeder or relatively regular visits of metropolitan poets. It’s about the fact that in Samara, as in any other place in Russia, there is a lot of writing and reading people. Among them, there are a number of people creating interesting literary projects, because people, having serious and great interest in literature, sooner or later, reach the others, the same, and as a result, many people know many, and if you take the chain, our city is a big literary environment. Thanks to it, there appeared Samara Literary Festival, a new project that generates interest to the books and reading.
