Festival Fabula

Publication

Abstract

Slovenia's main book festival produced by the Beletrina Publishing House in collaboration with Cankarjev dom, the Fabula Literature Festival brings together world-class authors. The Festival's programme, focused on hosting top international writers, translating their works into Slovenian and establishing live contact between international literature and Slovenian audiences, also raises topical socio-critical issues and addresses contemporary challenges.

In 2021, due to the changes to our way of life, Fabula will be held outside its traditional timeframe, between 8 May and 6 June 2021, directing focus on today's realities under the slogan Future=Privilege? The opening event, the talk with the Russian author Vladimir Sorokin, will be held in early May at Cankarjev dom. Other featured authors are award-winning British writer Deborah Levy and the distinguished Arab writer Jokha Alharthi, winner of the Man Booker International Prize, Czech writer Marek Šindelka and Italian author Claudia Durastanti.

The Fabula Hub programme includes Enis Maci, one of the most promising young German writers.
