FEKP program 2015

FEKP/FESS FESTIVAL EUROPSKE KRATKE PRIČE FESTIVAL OF THE EUROPEAN SHORT STORY 31. 5. – 5. 6. 2015. ZAGREB – RIJEKA www.europeanshortstory.org

DOGAĐANJA / EVENTS Zagreb Nedjelja, 31. svibnja / Sunday, May 31 15:00 Otvaranje FEKP-a 2015: bez formalnosti, molim! / FESS 2015 Opening: No Formalities, Please! Čuvajte se: hrvatski pisci kuhaju! / Beware: Croatian Writers Are Cooking!

Zoran Ferić, Senko Karuza, Robert Mlinarec 20:00 Amerike – Otkriće model 1.1 / The Americas – Discovery Model 1.1 Zbir realnostī i zb(i)rka snova, Amerike su podijeljene, suprotstavljene i sjedinjene – poviješću, jezicima, ideologijama i oceanima. Kakve su između sebe, ali i u odnosu na ostatak, svijet kojem pripadamo? Postoji li Staro bez Novoga i što su nama danas Amerike? Samo su neka od pitanja koja će nas tijekom 14. izdanja FEKP-a voditi preko nacionalnih i jezičnih granica, kroz prošlost i sadašnjost Novoga svijeta, kroz mitsko i povijesno, od književnosti do politike i natrag. Festival otvaraju dobitnica nagrade Orange Lionel Shriver, nova zvijezda meksičke književnosti Valeria Luiselli i nagrađivani hrvatsko-kanadski književnik Josip Novakovich.

A sum of realities and a (dis)array of dreams, the Americas are divided, conflicted and united – by their history, languages, ideologies and oceans. What are they like in relation to one another, and to the rest, to the world we belong to? Is there the Old without the New and what do the Americas mean to us today? These are just some of the questions that will be asked during the 14th edition of the FESS and that will take us across national borders and language barriers, through the past and the present of the New World, through its myths and histories, from literature to politics and back. The festival opens with a talk between Orange Prize winner Lionel Shriver, the new star of Mexican literature Valeria Luiselli and the award-winning CroatianCanadian author, Josip Novakovich.

Klub Booksa, Fra Grge Martića 14d HRV/ŠPA 19:00 Razgovor / Conversation Ameroeuropljani ili Euroamerikanci – što pisac nosi preko oceana? / Ameroeuropeans or Euroamericans – What a Writer Carries Over the Ocean?

SANTIAGO RONCAGLIOLO I FERNANDO IWASAKI Zaista, što južnoamerički pisac donosi u Europu? I kako Stari svijet izgleda iz daljine? Španjolski jezik olakšava doskok, ali koliko meko može biti prizemljenje? Bolaño, Vargas Llosa, García Márquez, Donoso..., na svakog od južnoameričkih književnih divova koji su u Europi uspjeli dolaze tisuće onih za koje se ne zna. O igri identiteta – književnim Ameroeuropljanima i Euroamerikancima – govore peruanski pisci trajno nastanjeni u Španjolskoj: Santiago Roncagliolo, dobitnik nagrade Alfaguara za roman Crveni travanj, i velemajstor kratke priče Fernando Iwasaki.

Indeed, what does a South American writer take to Europe? And what does the Old World look like from the distance? Spanish language makes the touchdown easier, but how soft is the landing? Bolaño, Vargas Llosa, García Márquez, Donoso... for each of South American literary giants that made it in Europe there are thousands of those no one heard of. This game of identities – literary Ameroeuropeans and Euroamericans – is discussed by two Peruvian writers permanently living in Spain: Santiago Roncagliolo, the winner of Alfaguara Prize for his novel Red April, and Fernando Iwasaki, the grandmaster of short story.

Mima Simić takes us through the ins and outs of characters and works, through the life within the text and the one outside of it (if there is such a thing!) of a fantastic literary trio: a reading and a conversation with short story writers Ksenija Kušec and Jelena Zlatar, and writer and editor Robert Mlinarec.

And Márquez and Borges and Carver and Salinger and… – how many stories crossed the ocean, entered our literatures and changed them?

Sat u radionici priče / An Hour at the Short Story Workshop Mikropriče – kraće od kratkog / Micro-Stories – Shorter than Short FERNANDO IWASAKI I MIROSLAV MIĆANOVIĆ Ako je kratkoća priče ono što je izdvaja od ostalih književnih vrsta, koliko kratka priča zapravo može biti i što joj treba da bi bila potpuna? Za peruanskog autora sa španjolskom adresom Fernanda Iwasakija i pet je redaka dovoljno za besprijekornu priču – može(te) li kraće? Iwasakijev sugovornik na putu u središte priče: Miroslav Mićanović!

If the story’s shortness is what separates it from other literary forms, how short can a story be and what it needs to be complete? For Fernando Iwasaki, a Peruvian author with a Spanish address, five lines is enough for an impeccable story – can it be (can you make it) shorter? Iwasaki’s companion on the journey to the heart of the story: Miroslav Mićanović!

Klub Booksa, Fra Grge Martića 14d HRV/ŠPA 19:00 Razgovor / Conversation

A PEN International Free the Word! event in association with Croatian PEN Zašto je Meksiko važan? / Why Mexico Matters? ÁLVARO ENRIGUE I VALERIA LUISELLI Početkom XIX. st. Alexander Von Humboldt o Meksiku je pisao kao o zemlji nejednakosti – kad je riječ o distribuciji bogatstva, civilizaciji, obradivoj zemlji, stanovništvu... U međuvremenu se Meksiko pretvorio u jednu od svjetskih ekonomija koje najbrže rastu, no problem nejednakosti ostaje te – uz korupciju i nasilje – prijeti ugrožavanjem demokratskog poretka zemlje koja na mnogo načina utječe na globalne trendove. O promjenama koje prolazi meksičko društvo i iskušenjima koja su pred njime govore nagrađivani meksički autori Valeria Luiselli i Álvaro Enrigue.

At the beginning of the 19th century Alexander von Humboldt wrote about Mexico as a country of inequalities – when it came to the distribution of wealth, civilization, agricultural lands, population... In the meantime, Mexico has turned into one of the fastest growing world economies, but inequality still remains a problem and – together with corruption and violence – it threatens the democratic order of the country, which in many ways influences global trends. The changes Mexican society is going through and the challenges that lay before it are discussed by the award-winning Mexican authors Valeria Luiselli and Álvaro Enrigue.

Café u dvorištu, Jurja Žerjavića 7/2 20:00 Program ostvaren u suradnji s Booksom i Multimedijalnim institutom MaMa / Program in association with Booksa and MaMa – Multimedia Institute Piščev dnevnik / Chronicle of a Writer DAVID ALBAHARI I ALBERTO MANGUEL Booksa i MaMa predstavljaju program Piščev dnevnik, prvi u nizu razgovora između Davida Albaharija i njegovih kolega, prijatelja i suradnika. Ovom prilikom David Albahari razgovara s Albertom Manguelom, nagrađivanim kanadsko-argentinskim autorom koji je, radeći u knjižari Pygmalion u Buenos Airesu, čitao tada već slijepom Jorgeu Luisu Borgesu. Godinama kasnije Manguel portretirao je zagonetnoga genija u svojoj knjizi With Borges (S Borgesom, 2004), za koju je dobio nagradu Prix du livre en Poitou-Charentes.

Booksa and MaMa present Chronicle of a Writer, the first in the series of conversations between David Albahari and his colleagues, friends and associates. On this occasion, David Albahari converses with Alberto Manguel, an award-winning Canadian-Argentine author who, while working at the Pygmalion bookshop in Buenos Aires, was asked to read to the blind Jorge Luis Borges. Years later he portrayed the enigmatic genius in With Borges (2004) winning the Prix du livre en Poitou-Charentes.

RIJEKA 12:00 Dobro došli u Rijeku / Welcome to Rijeka Prijam u Uredu Grada / City Hall Reception 17:00 Razgovor / Conversation Susret s čitateljskim klubovima / Readers Clubs Meeting Join the Club: JOSIP NOVAKOVICH I DAVOR MANDIĆ Grad koji teče – kažu Riječani za svoju Rijeku, a mi dodajemo da je Rijeka i grad koji čita! U Rijeci djeluje najviše čitateljskih klubova koji se redovito sastaju kako bi pričali o pročitanim knjigama, upoznavali književnost i podijelili svoj doživljaj teksta. Željka Horvat Čeč upoznat će kanadskog našijenca Josipa

Novakovicha i domaćeg Davora Mandića s njihovim čitateljima i zajedno s njima otkrivati što je čitatelj htio reći – možda se i pisci iznenade!

The city that flows – that’s what the Fiumani say about their Rijeka, and we’ll add that Rijeka is also a city that reads! Rijeka has the largest number of readers clubs whose members regularly meet to talk about the books they read, learn about literature and share their impressions of a text. Željka Horvat Čeč introduces the Croatian-born Canadian Josip Novakovich and the Rijeka-born Fiuman Davor Mandić to their readers and together with them discovers what the reader wanted to say – perhaps the writers will be surprised too!

Moderira / Moderated by: Željka Horvat Čeč Book Caffe Dnevni boravak, Ciottina 12a HRV 18:30 Predstavljanje / Presentation Amerike – (ne)sretni odlasci / The Americas – The (Un)Happy Departures HARKAITZ CANO I DAŠA DRNDIĆ Dvoje pisaca koje predstavljamo u Amerike su putovali i iz njih se vraćali sretno – s ulovom tekstova i tema – no nisu svi odlasci jednako sretni. Amerike su prečesto bile nužda, usud "malih", sudbina siromašnih i poharanih ratom. O toplom i hladnom u Americi, o Americi poezije i proze, zbilje i mita, o Americi-snu, iznevjerenu ili pak ne, govore ponajbolja hrvatska književnica Daša Drndić i jedan od najistaknutijih suvremenih baskijskih autora Harkaitz Cano.

The two authors presented here traveled to the Americas and happily returned from them – with a catch of texts and topics – but not all departures are as happy. All too often the Americas were a necessity, a fate of “the small”, a destiny of the poor and ravaged by war. Daša Drndić, one of the best Croatian authors, and Harkaitz Cano, one of the most distinguished contemporary Basque writers, discuss the warmth and the cold of America, America of poetry and prose, of reality and myth, America-the-dream, shattered or perhaps not.

Ili kad je izgubimo – nad vlastitim životom, tijelom, nadanjima, obitelji i osjećajima… Kontrolira li nas društvo podjednako snažno u Starom i Novom svijetu, i kakav je otpor moguć? Kontrolira li, napokon, ona kao autorica svoje likove i teme (ili one kontroliraju nju)? U Sobi s pogledom razgovaramo s nagrađivanom autoricom romanā Let's Talk About Kevin, Big Brother, The Post-Birthday World, The New Republic… Amerikankom u Velikoj Britaniji, Lionel Shriver.

What controls us, and what happens when we get out of control? Or when we lose it – over our own lives, bodies, hopes, families and feelings… Is the intensity of society’s control the same in the Old and the New World, and what kind of resistance is possible? Finally, does she as an author control her characters and themes (or do they control her)? In A Room with a View we are talking to the award-winning author of Let’s Talk About Kevin, Big Brother, The Post-Birthday World, The New Republic… An American in Great Britain, Lionel Shriver.

Na tom zemljovidu Borges i Cortázar, Sabato i Arlt čitavi su kontinenti, a Argentina kao da ne prestaje stvarati nove, raznovrsne i opčinjavajuće predjele – od Piglie do Neumana, od Aire do Samante Schweblin. Dvojica naših gostiju na tom zemljovidu zauzimaju posebna, istaknuta mjesta – kao nagrađivani autori, ali i pasionirani čitači, antologičari i znalci imaginarnih geografija – čast nam je i zadovoljstvo predstaviti vam Leopolda Brizuelu i Alberta Manguela!

Regardless if we are talking about the short story or the novel, the signposts of our reading quests always, sooner or later, take us to Argentina. In that map, Borges and Cortázar, Sabato and Arlt are whole continents yet Argentina never seems to cease in creating new, diverse and mesmerizing territories – from Piglia to Neuman, from Aira to Samanta Schweblin. Our two guests occupy special, prominent places in that map – as award-winning authors, but also avid readers, anthologists and aficionados of imaginary geographies – it is both our honor and pleasure to present to you Leopoldo Brizuela and Alberto Manguel.
