The Croatian novelist, Daša Drndic, will take part in this year's Jewish Book Week, a major international literary festival in London described as “the capital's richest annual banquet of writers and ideas” by The Independent.
Daša Drndic will talk about her first novel to be translated into English, Trieste, the story of a mother who has waited over sixty years to be reunited with the son who was stolen from her by the Nazis. Mixing fiction and non fiction, this astonishing book shows new light on the occupation of northern Italy.
Daša Drndic was born in Zagreb and is a distinguished Croatian novelist, literary critic, playwright and translator. She also teaches at the Faculty of Philosophy in Rijeka. Trieste, a novel, is her latest work.
Time: Sunday, the 26th of February at 15:30
Venue: Kings Place, 90 York Way, N1 9AG
Tickets: £6.50
