European Literature Night VII: The Writers

European Literature Night’s seventh appearance in the UK takes us on an engaging literary tour of the continent, travelling from the northerly reaches of Denmark, east to Poland and Slovenia, to the southern shores of Italy and then west through France to Spain. Prepare for a literary feast of compelling European poetry, fiction and short stories which explore the nature of relationships, childhood trauma, questions of morality and much more.

WITH Naja Marie Aidt (Denmark), Andrea Bajani (Italy), Jesús Carrasco (Spain), Evald Flisar (Slovenia), Wioletta Greg (Poland) and Yasmina Khadra (France).

The evening events at the British Library will be followed by a reception in the Entrance Hall of the British Library, open to everyone who has attended The Writers or In Spoken Word events. It will include music, a glass of wine and the chance to buy books by the participating authors and have them signed.

European Literature Night (ELN) is the annual literary showcase bringing the best of the continent’s authors to the UK. Now moving into its seventh year, the ELN 2015 is a series of events, including four events at the British Library and the ELN Translation Pitch at the Free Word Centre.

European Literature Night is presented in partnership with EUNIC (European Union National Institutes for Culture) London, the European Commission Representation in the UK, the British Library, the Czech Centre London and Speaking Volumes Live Literature Productions.
