WINONA, Minn. – Author Lev Golinkin, whose memoir fleeing Soviet Ukraine in the 1990s is on many Winona State reading lists as the university’s 2013 Common Book, will discuss the book in a panel on Wednesday. Time: 3 p.m. in the science building with a keynote address, in the science auditorium, at 7 p.m. Both are free. Golinkin will focus on immigrant and refugee experiences, said Andrew Higl, director of the Common Book program. Golinkin’s book, “A Backpack, A Bear and Eight Crates of Vodka,” traces his Jewish family fleeing persecution. The Golinkin family, when he was 9, crossed the Soviet border out of Ukraine to Austria with only 10 suitcases, $600, and the vague promise of help awaiting in Vienna. At Winona State, the Common Book program is designed to give students across the curriculum a singular bonding and identifying experience.
