From 3 March to 30 April, an exhibition "Turning over the pages of magazines on fiction" runs in the Periodicals Reading Room (room 106).
Modern literary process is extremely complicated and contradictory. On the one hand, being at the interfaces between two centuries, literature is summing up a kind of artistic and aesthetic explorations of the 20th century. On the other, it also outlines the prospects for its development in the XXI century due to its experiments and discoveries.
Today men of different generations create literature including those who have created their works in the Soviet period, and those who have worked in the underground, and those who have started writing recently.
The exposition represents periodicals which contain works of different genres of Belarusian and foreign poets, novelists, critics, writers and translators. Readers will learn about new publications of literary masters such as S. Aleksiyevich, A. Avrutin, L. Rublevskaya, A. Globus, V. Shnip and others, as well as with works of young authors, for example, Alex Po’s unusual stories.
There are interesting and exciting materials in magazines Znamya (column "Unformat"), Inostrannaya literatura (column "A writer travels"), etc. For example, there can be read works of our classics in the magazine Neman (column "Heritage"), interviews with famous people of the contemporary literary process – in the magazine Maladost (column "Inquirer").
The exhibition contains more than 30 editions in periodicals.
