Long Live Literature. Long Live Europe! – The European Union Prize For Literature Turns 15

"Join us for a panel discussion celebrating winning authors and their stories - and the 15th anniversary of the European Union Prize for Literature (EUPL).
Our panel will feature four EUPL authors who will present their books and thus open a window to the various literary landscapes of Europe. Their discussions will reveal how each book, each story reflects its own cultural context while creating a bond that connects us all.

Participating authors: Gaea Schoeters (Belgium), Todor Todorov (Bulgaria), Deniz Utlu (Germany), Tina Vrščaj (Slovenia)

Moderator: Thomas Böhm (radioeins)

Guest: Barbara Gessler, Head of Representation, European Commission in Germany

Don’t miss this opportunity to meet the authors and to learn more about the Prize: The EUPL recognizes outstanding literary works from emerging European fiction authors, aiming to introduce them to a broader, international audience. By recognizing and promoting literature that transcends borders, bridging diverse experiences and narratives, the prize fosters cultural exchange and enriches our collective understanding of Europe.

The event is organized by the Federation of European Publishers (FEP), the European and International Booksellers Federation (EIBF), Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels, and the European Commission.

The European Union Prize for Literature is co-funded by the European Union."
