European literary festivals and author promotions

Overview

Literary festivals and book promotions in Europe have recently highlighted various regional authors and themes of identity.

In early September, the 41st Vilenica Festival in Slovenia awarded the Vilenica Prize to Ukrainian writer and poet Serhiy Zhadan, focusing on intercultural dialogue and identity. Concurrently, the 19th Vrisak festival in Croatia featured Ukrainian writer Oksana Zabuzhko, who discussed national identity and postcolonial trauma.

Later in the month, Croatian literary figures conducted promotions in other locations. In Vienna, Mirko Ćurić presented his historical novel ‘Svirači čarobnih frula’ at the Croatian Center, accompanied by musical performances. In Budva, Damir Karakaš presented his novel ‘Sunčanik’ at the National Library ‘Miroslav Luketić’, a work described by critics as exploring themes of life, death, and nature.
