Sofi Oksanen in conversation with Rosie Boycott

Focus: Cultural Citizenship

Cartagena 2015, 

Acclaimed by both the public and the critics, Sofi Oksanen’s works stand out for their strongly social and human focus. After the spectacular success of Purge, the author has released When the Doves Disappeared, a novel set in Estonia during the periods before and after the Second World War; which was the bestselling book of the year in Finland. In 2013 Sofi Oksanen was awarded with the Swedish Academy Nordic Prize for her body of work.
