Based on the success from last year, European Literature Night (ELN) comes back this September with a stronger line-up of 13 European countries! Organized by Czech Centers and EUNIC, ELN has been taking place in Prague since 2006. The aim is to introduce contemporary European literature through public readings in non-traditional venues.
The second edition of the ELN in Hong Kong will take place on 17th September. Well-known Hong Kong personalities will read out excerpts of works by European writers in 13 different locations. At all locations, the readings will take place simultaneously at a 30-minute interval. Audiences can plan their literature route ahead. Participating venues will all be in Central and Sheung Wan.
The Italian book Perfection (Le Perfezioni) by Vincenzo Latonico will be presented at La Biblioteca Italian Library by Ms. Lilli Chung. Perfection is a story of a young Italian couple mobbing to Berlin for the perfect life. But beneath the carefully crafted surface, cracks begin to appear. A portrait of modern urban life in the age of Instagram – where appearances are everything, and nothing is quite as it seems.
