Pirkko Saisio at European Writers' Festival in London
The European Writers’ Festival returns to the British Library for its third edition
Upcoming Events
Leading and debut writers from 26 countries, from Spain to Ukraine, the Faroes to Turkey, gather to discuss love, war, humour, nature, crime, myth and memoir and the power of literature and translation to help navigate the challenges facing Europe today.
Finnish writer Pirkko Saisio will take part in the panel titled Coming of Age on Sunday 17 May at 1.15-2.30pm.
This is the perfect chance to catch up on what’s hot in contemporary European writing, to meet authors, translators and publishers over one special weekend. Most of the writers appearing present their latest novels but it’s fascinating to note how broad the fiction genre is in Europe today and how all these writers juggle genres, topics and styles, from the play-writing memoirist to the crime-writing screenwriter and the war-reporting short story writer.
Day and Weekend Tickets to attend in person are available, with a 30% discount to attend on both days. Online Tickets include the livestream on both days and catch up viewing for 14 days.
The European Writers’ Festival is organised by EUNIC London (European Union National Institutes for Culture) in partnership with the British Library and the European Literature Network. Chair of Programming Panel, Rosie Goldsmith. The festival is supported by the EU Delegation to the UK and the European Parliament Liaison Office in the UK.
