ismail kadare
For four decades now, Ismail Kadare (1936) has been the
most well known Albanian writer, both at home and abroad. His intriguing
work consists of prose, poetry and essays, and has been crowned with
numerous awards, including the Man Booker International Prize (2005) and
the Prince of Asturias Prize (2009). He has also been repeatedly tipped for
the Nobel Prize. A conversation about 45 years of authorship in a changing
Europe, in which the Balkans form the restless heart.
ATTENTION: this programme is taking place at La Bellone, Rue de
Flandre / Vlaamsesteenweg 46, 1000 Brussel.
