Literature week / Kaleidoscope of Culture
The Literature week within the Kaleidoscope of Culture programme will lasts from September 17 to 23.
A unique concept in this part of Europe is turning Novi Sad into a book town, with literary and musical programmes, sales, and exchange of books, literary evenings, and performances, bringing together the most important regional names in this field of art. The literature week, through the Booktown at SPENS and many other events, brings staged readings, discussions with authors and performances standing out from the usual ways of literary promotion and answering the question of why books are important to us.
