![]() Joining us in this discussion will be B.J. ![]() Our guest of honour is award-winning Latvian author, Nora Ikstena, whose 2015 novel Mātes piens (published by Peirene Press in the UK as Soviet Milk) is about exactly this: three generations of Latvian women connected by mothers’ milk. We will also discuss the importance of preserving breastfeeding as a cultural practice in order to preserve bonds between different generations of mothers and daughters. Soviet Milk is an online seminar on Tuesday, November 16th, 2022 (at 6pm GMT/UK time) celebrating, and exploring, the symbolism of breastfeeding in literature – not just in the former Soviet nations, but internationally. ![]()
