European Literature Night 2024 at The Balie

Theme: writers as travellers

How are exile and alienation from one’s own country reflected in literature? By looking at writers as travellers, we seek to uncover nuanced diasporic narratives in European literature, fostering understanding and empathy for the myriad of human experiences that bind us together.

The European Literature Night 2024 brings together authors from across the continent who will explore this year’s theme: ‘Writers as travellers’. Through the lens of literature, we dive into the complexities of borders, belonging, and otherness within a European context.
