ABOUT THE EVENT

Each author reads to an audience of about twenty people for twenty minutes. The audience then moves on to another room to listen to a different author, reading from their chosen work of literature. This concept allows the audience a very intimate space to have personal interactions with authors from all eleven European countries.

The Long Night of LiteratureS is presented jointly by EUNIC Cluster New Delhi and Kolkata

Book stall with some translated works will be made available for purchase at the venue by Oxford Bookstore.
