October 4th, Sunday

11.20h, The Museum of Literature

Reading and Discussion on the Topic:

»Is there a European Literature ?«

with Tzveta Sofronieva [ Bulgaria ] and

Ilma Rakusa [ Switzerland ]


Is there a national literature ? And if there is such a thing, is there also a European literature, and what might this look like ? And is there then something like a European identity ? The poet Tzveta Sofronieva is at home in five European languages and often translates her own poems. Ilma Rakusas is at home in Europe: she could speak three languages before she even had her own room.
