Starting this Friday, November 29, the Pula Book Fair brings together some 60 international authors, 200-plus publishers and 60,000 literary fans over the course of ten days.
Running until December 8 at the House of Croatian Defenders in the shadow of the Pula Citadel, this anniversary event is being themed Microcosmos to describe the dovetailing of various identities over the last three decades.
Initially a series of improvised stands created by stage designer Roman Višković around the city’s historic Roman forum, the Pula Book Fair was established in 1995 by enthusiast, Boško Obradović. Its name stylised to Pula Book Fair(y), this literary celebration is a showcase for debate and dialogue, as well as the publishing industry.
Guests will include award-winning Russian author Mikhail Shishkin, Ukrainian writer and essayist Andriy Lyubka and Swedish journalist/writer Karolina Ramqvist.
