This year’s edition, hosted at the Ukrainian Institute of America, ( https://ukrainianinstitute.org/ ) brings together some of today’s most vital literary voices to celebrate their latest works in English translation.\nABOUT THE EVENING\nEuropean Literature Night 2025 sets out to explore three urgent themes that resonate across borders:\n\nThe Past’s Presence – How seismic historical events shape characters’ present lives\nAuthoritarianism / Writing War – The language of war and its moral, political, and social ramifications\nTies That Bind – How love, desire, and community shape our stories\n\nThrough discussions, staged readings, and thought-provoking performances, ELN offers New York audiences the chance to experience the richness, diversity, and urgency of Europe’s contemporary literature.\nTHE AUSTRIAN PARTICIPANT: ALOIS HOTSCHNIG\nAlois Hotschnig was born in 1959 in Carinthia and lives in Innsbruck. His books, celebrated for their stylistic virtuosity and precision of observation, have won major Austrian and international prizes including the Federal Chancellery of Austria’s Literature Prize, the Italo Svevo Prize, the Erich Fried Prize, the Anton Wildgans Prize, the inaugural 2011 Gert Jonke Prize, and the ORF Radio Play of the Year Award, among others.
