Today Bulgaria takes part again in the European Literature Night initiative. In “readers’ nests” dislocated in non-traditional spaces in 9 Bulgarian cities, popular actors and public figures will present excerpts from works by European authors. The aim of the initiative is to emphasize on translated literature by contemporary European writers. In this way within a night’s time spectators will be able to get in touch with literary works from different countries.
