Internationales Literaturfestival Vilenica

The 2007 Vilenica International Literary Festival, which is organized by the Slovene Writers' Association and the Culture Society Vilenica, will be held from 5 to 9 September in Gorica (Italy), Hruševje, Koper, Lipica, Lokev, Ljubljana, Štanjel, Vilenica and on some other locations. Several events will be taking place around Slovenia the day before the opening ceremony. The main pre-opening event will feature the leading Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer.

The motto of this year's festival is »Who is afraid of the truth of literature?«. The main events of the Vilenica expert programme, the CEI Round Table at Vilenica and the 5th International Comparative Literature Colloquium, will scrutinize the question of literary censorship and the status of the literary truth closely related to the former.
