New voices from Europe. Meeting with CELA writers
New voices from Europe. Meeting with CELA writers
A shy and withdrawn Belgian boy looks down from the heights of the church choir to the crowds of girls gathered for the funeral of a schoolmate. Thoughts of residents of blocks of flats trapped in flooded homes like fish in an aquarium do not give peace of mind to a resident of an unnamed Czech town. An old woman recalls a childhood friend while tossing hay somewhere in the Slovenian countryside. The stories told in the prose debuts of young European writers - rooted in other languages, imaginaries and places, although seemingly they could happen anywhere - open us up to other worlds. The CELA (Connecting Emerging Literary Artists) programme selects the most interesting representatives of new European prose to present their work at international festivals thanks to translations crafted by talented translators. During the Conrad Festival, we will introduce three emerging artists: Eliška Beranova from the Czech Republic, Lieven Stoefs from Belgium and Pia Prezelj from Slovenia, whose stories were able to reach Polish readers thanks to translations by Paulina Zając, Marta Talacha and Aleksandra Wójcik. The authors will read excerpts from their texts and, together with their translators, talk about the experience of writing and translating, as well as the unique relationship between writer, translator and story.
Guests: Eliška Beranová, Pia Prezelj, Lieven Stoefs, Marta Talacha, Aleksandra Wójcik, Paulina Zając
The meeting was divided into two parts, the first in English and the second in Polish.
