“Stories are wild creatures, the monster said. When you let them loose, who knows what havoc they might wreak?” PATRICK NESS

Translation project “TELL ME YOUR STORY” brings together seven very different authors from all around Europe (Denmark, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Italy, United Kingdom) whose stories offer very original, highly personal perspective to the European (or, in this case, Slovenian) reader. Some of these authors are already well established among Slovenian readers, the others still need to be introduced. We will therefore continue our practice of inviting authors to Slovenia, so that their stories will be heard and spread in direct, interactive contact with the reading public (last year’s visit of one of the chosen authors Patrick Ness being an excellent example). /…/  (Source: EAC)
