Nasta Mantsevich: "Do I feel like a scandalous writer?"
"I understand that this is a very narrow circle and that it has started boiling after the publication of my book".
Belarusian beginner poetess Nasta Mantsevich has published her debut collection "Birds". The majority of the verses were published in Nasta's blog earlier and her friend and editor of "Birds" Pavel Antsipau selected them for the book. He decided to combine stories and verses in one book - in his opinion, all of them complement one another.
"Birds" caused a lot of criticism and even disputes on the Internet a few days before the presentation.
Despite all the disputes and possible provocations the organizers were afraid of, people who wanted to listen to Nasta Mantsevich's verses filled the whole room.
Nasta Mantsevich was more anxious about the presentation of "Birds" than about the discussion caused by her book. By the way, the author got to know about it all from her friends and was surprised a lot:
Nasta Mantsevich: "Do I feel like a scandalous writer? Well, I have experienced this feeling to some extent. Speaking about my book, I understand that this is a very narrow circle and it has started boiling after the publication".
