This year the WORD Festival is including a Polish writer for the first time: Stefan Chwin is coming to read from his work and answer questions. Since the readings and questions/answers will be in Polish and English ( and books will be on sale in both languages for those who want to buy them afterwards) , it is hoped that many members of the Polish community will attend this event. It’s on Sunday 16th May at 3pm in the King’s College Centre at Aberdeen University.
Stefan Chwin - Born in 1949, a novelist and essayist. Chwin also writes adventure-fantasy tales for younger readers and illustrates them himself. He has also written critical and historical studies of literature. He lives in Gdańsk and works at the university there. He has won Andreas Gryphius' Prize in 1999. Source: www.culture.pl
