EUPL Book Club on 'travel' with Stavros Christodoulou EU Prize for Literature

    • Books

Our fourth EUPL book club meeting spotlighted travel. The book club read three EUPL winning novels: Death drives an Audi (Døden kører Audi) by Kristian Bang Foss (Denmark, 2013), The son (Sin) by Andrej Nikolaidis (Montenegro, 2011), and The day the river froze (Τη μέρα που πάγωσε ο ποταμός) by Stavros Christodoulou (Cyprus, 2020). This event was organised in partnership with Lit Cities - an exciting digital initiative compiling a database of novels that unveil the magic of urban tales and equip the reader with a feeling for a city‘s inhabitants, their habits and idiosyncrasies. Lit Cities is the cultural hub for the world of literature and the poetic dimension of travelling.



For our discussion on the theme, we were joined by Stavros Christodoulou, who spoke about his EUPL winning novel, upcoming new book and his writing career, as well as the cities and regions his works are based in.
