The cult of Babel: Odessa's literary flashmobs attract book-loving tourists

Renee' Floyd marked it as to-read Dec 08, Odessa is a Russian-speaking city, filled with boxy Russian-made Lada cars, and despite the Italian-style baroque buildings on grander roads such as Pushkinskaya, the side streets mirror St Petersburg, with crumbling pastel mansions and faded neo-classical architecture. On touristy Deribasovskaya street, the cafes smell of unaired Russian teahouses: Every shopkeeper is ready with an anecdote or wisecrack, and every street corner seems to have a plaque dedicated to a writer.

At the bottom of Nekrasova Lane, the large peach-coloured house looks like any other decaying mansion in the city, but it was here, in , that Nikolai Gogol worked on his fantastical prose-poem Dead Souls. Despite appearances, Odessa is not completely time-warped. It is home to a high number of technology graduates and IT programmers, and a shiny new airport terminal is due to open any day soon.

Odessa is also overshadowed by its nearest big literary neighbour.

Tangier attracted many radical authors, from Paul Bowles to Tennessee Williams, and today draws many tourists who inevitably stop at the Tangerinn, next to Hotel El Muniria, where William S Burroughs got high on Eukodol, a morphine-based medicine, and wrote Naked Lunch. Well-meaning, if slightly self-conscious literary PR stunts aside, Odessa has a long way to go before it can compete.

But it is making headway. In , the International Literature Festival Odessa brought together 24 writers from 17 countries, and the event will take place again this September, with an equally impressive global mix.
