Retrospective and Preview

European Literature Days 2012
20 to 23 September 2012 in Spitz an der Donau

At the close of the successful European Literature Days 2011, participants from 16 different countries put next year‟s event date firmly in their diaries – the European Literature Days are established as a „think tank‟ of literary production. Over the next few weeks and months, a film retrospective, a new edition of “Draußen in der Wachau”/“Out and About in Wachau” (including Dana Grigorcea‟s diary) and an e-book about the 2011 Donauforum will record the results of the European Literature Days 2011. We are brainstorming new questions and themes for 2012 to continue and consolidate the current debate.
