Background
Founded in 2003, Fabula Festival has hosted many modern classics: Herta Müller, Irvin Welsh, Jonathan Franz, Hanif Kureishi, David Grossman, Janice Galloway, Richard Flanagan, Taiye Selasi, Tatiana Tolstoy, Eric Vuillard, Rachel Cusk, Deborah Levy, Jokha Alharthi, Bernhard Schlink, Vladimir Sorokin, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and many others. The festival’s concept has evolved and improved throughout the years and is now based on a curator’s pick of five authors, who are already considered literary classics or who have made a significant mark on world literature in recent years with their work.
The virtual Q&A between Mieko Kawakami and Nagisa Moritoki Škof that was accompanied by a butoh performance by Darinka Pillari took place at the Cankarjev dom Club in 2022. It presented Summer Stories, the latest novel by Japanese author Mieko Kawakami - a portrait of contemporary womanhood in Japan.
