presented by EUNIC
The centrepiece of the Festival, the Writers Showcase follows a day of talks and translation clinics at the British Library, with novelist and playwright
Kate Mosse to deliver an opening address before appearances by the six 2016 ELN Writers – each chosen from a pool of 65 writers– who will be interviewed on stage by broadcaster and director of European Literature Network
Rosie Goldsmith.
“Writing in translation offers us a way to understand our neighbours better and to shine a light on how the world fits together. At a time when the countless shared histories and stories from our many friends and strangers in Europe is danger of being lost in the politics of the EU debate, an initiative like the European Literature Festival is more important than ever. I’m delighted to be supporting it and taking part.” Kate Mosse
With authors Burhan Sönmez, Dorthe Nors, Gabriela Babnik, Peter Verhelst, Jaap Robben and Alek Popov
