phati'tude Literary TV Show (formerly phatLiterature, A Literary TV Program), features poets, writers and scholars who discuss the writing process and how that process reveals and defines their lives. It also provides insight into the historical, social, cultural and political connections that appear in their works, and enliven the exploration of literature and literary analysis with dramatizations and readings. phati'tude also features a Q&A segment and showcases visual artists by integrating their works as part of the set design, including a 60- second segment, VISUAL SIGNATURES, which appears in each episode. http://www.phatltude.org.

This episode features Mikhail Iossel; with visual artist Anders Knutsson. Throughout Russia's turbulent history, leaders, rulers, despots came and went, each condemning hundreds and thousands of books to the fate of the literal and metaphorical underground vaults, yet the people of Russia have maintained a strong, distinctive literary culture. Mikhail Iossel, an award-winning Russian novelist and the director of SUMMER LITERARY SERIES (SLS), discusses the history of Russian literature, and shares his personal experience as a Russian-born writer. This clip features Mikhail Iossel.

phati'tude is produced by Intercultural Alliance of Artists & Scholars, Inc., a NY-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that promotes multicultural literature and literacy. http://www.theiaas.org
