Motto:
BEYOND
Description:
Sorrow for beyond
What lies beyond the gray mist after hearing the stories of the black and white side? Diversity prevails, so this year we present six authors with contrasting backgrounds, themes and interests, who will unite and together discuss the topics covered in their novels: religion, nationality, tradition, politics, sexuality and the ever-present desire for power. Beyond the schizoid narratives in everyday life, there are personal stories, which best testify to the chaos of ideologies.
