JUSTICE FOR THE SHORT FICTION!
Conversation with authors: Meinhard Rauchensteiner (Austria), Vladimir Martinovski, Sanja Mihajlovikj-Kostadinovska, Ivan Šopov
Moderator: Vladimir Jankovski
The short story has always posed a challenge for writers — a form that demands concentration, linguistic precision, explosive impact, and the power of suggestion. In this discussion, authors from different generations and literary contexts will share their thoughts and experiences on the possibilities that short prose offers: its potential for experimentation, the authenticity of expression, its advantages over other genres, as well as its limits and challenges. The event is an open invitation to reflect on how the short story can shape contemporary literature and reading habits — not only in the Macedonian context but also within the wider European literary landscape.
