In the 4th Kaunas Literature Week - readings + talk by writer Julia Fiedorczuk (Poland). She will be interviewed by prose writer Jurga Tumasonytė. 

The event will be held in Polish with a translation into Lithuanian. 

JULIA FIEDORCZUK  (born 1975) is a Polish prose writer, poet, translator and researcher. Born in Warsaw, she studied at the University of Warsaw, where she also teaches American literature. She was awarded the Wisława Szymborska Prize for her poetry collection Psalms (2018). She has published seven books of prose, most notably the novel Pod słońcem (2020), translated into Lithuanian in 2022 (translated by Kazys Uscila). It is a family saga spanning the entire 20th century. The Polish and Belarusian (Ruthenian) communities living in the shelter of the Polesie Forest are transformed by historical upheavals, but their connection to their environment and to each other is not severed. The characters of this poetic novel are not only people with dramatic fates, but also nature - the river, the forest, the birds.  

The event is presented by the Polish Institute in Vilnius.
