| 20041104 | What happens to four writers from the north east of England when they visit Siberia on a British Council reading tour? What will the writers from the Tyne make of the frozen heart of Russia and Novosibirsk, the Siberian capital, a place further away from Moscow than London? It was once the centre of the Soviet Empire's nuclear research programme, a place where secrets were jealously guarded and completely closed to westerners until a decade ago. The Communists may no longer be in power but, as the writers discover for themselves, appearances can be deceptive. |
