Where Words Flow. Literary Currents in Southeast Europe

Words are like rivers: they can connect, divide, sweep you away or leave you cold. A river can change its meaning and appearance from bank to bank, from pier to pier. Is it the end point of one’s own world or a stepping stone towards new experiences? A full stop or an announcement?

For the title of the TRADUKI programme at the Leipzig Book Fair 2026, we allowed ourselves to be inspired by this year’s focus topic „Donau – Unter Strom und zwischen Welten“, as TRADUKI is organising four events as part of the project. But also at other TRADUKI events we will focus on current literary trends in Southeast Europe – from impressive new voices to multi-award-winning authors.
