NOT IN ENGLISH YET:
The Story of a Short Story

Let’s master the art of writing short stories – a genre where style, high culture of language, and the ability to take mental shortcuts are absolutely crucial

NOTES FROM UNDER THE
TABLE: A Literature of
Intimate Space

James Hopkin

The idea of the festival should be about a dialogue between languages, and how good literature with good translators can make nonsense of national borders and take us all to an intimate space not infiltrated by media-speak or nationalism

Africa as an Invention and a Duty

Eliza Szybowicz

In her newest book, Dom żółwia. Zanzibar, Szejnert shows that she is aware of the roles and conventions that limit anyone attempting to read or write about Africa

WHO'S WHO AND WHY:
Eugeniusz Tkaczyszyn-Dycki

Agnieszka Le Nart

His nostalgic descriptions of days gone by and people he’s known give these writings a seductive air. His writings have been referred to as a ‘dark passion’

NOTES FROM UNDER THE TABLE:
Flash-mob Miłosz vs. The Long and Lonesome Stand of Tadeusz Różewicz

James Hopkin

The centenary of Miłosz’s birth has been quite well covered in the UK. There was always something magisterial about him, both as a poet and as a man

COCTAIL ARTY:
Feasts with Devils

Paweł Soszyński

The 17th century ‘Town Chronicles of Kalisz’ recount a very interesting testimony of a certain witch named Dorota. Her account is a fascinating tale of a magical nighttime journey through the wilderness to a feast with devils

For the first time in years, the topic of the Rwandan Genocide became an important issue of public debate

SOMETHING OR OTHER:
Poetic Emergency – wedding song

Irena Grudzińska-Gross

A very close friend of mine needed a poem to include in her blessing at the wedding of her daughter.  The bride grew up bilingual so my friend wanted a poem written in Polish, but with an English language version

On this occasion enthusiasts of the Nobel Prize Winner’s art will arrive from all over the world. One of the guests will be Zygmunt Bauman who will participate in the Agora of Philosophers

Political Gambit

Michał Oleszczyk

Political Critique and their debate on film unwittingly revealed just how much anti-intellectualism still exists among the Polish artistic elite

BEFORE THE EUROPEAN CULTURE CONGRESS:
Culture in a Uniting Europe

Zygmunt Bauman

Europe’s task consists of passing on to all the art of everyone learning from everyone

In Praise of Eugenics

Kinga Dunin

Maciej Zaremba Bielawski’s involvement in the subject may also stem from other, more personal, motivations
