Letters on democracy

Five writers envision the future of Europe in a chain of five letters initiated by Arnon Grunberg. The writers – Arnon Grunberg, Drago Jančar, Lana Bastašić, Oksana Zabuzhko and Kamel Daoud – come together during the 4th Forum on European Culture, which took place in June 2023 in Amsterdam, in a conversation about the Europe that lies ahead of us and the role of the writer in it.
