Ukraine’s most famous novelist took to the stage at The Conduit to discuss his new book, Grey Bees – a dramatization of the conflict raging in his country through the lens of a mild-mannered beekeeper.

The conversation was led by Kelly Falconer, founder of the Asia Literary Agency, and touched on the crisis in Ukraine. Andrey shared his signature humour, imagination and sensitivity with the audience, allowing a genuine and thoughtful discussion to emerge.
