What to expect from non/fiction
From November 30 to December 4, the central house of the artist will host a 13 annual international fair of intellectual literature Non/Fiction . More than 250 publishers from 20 countries of the world will take part in the fair. This time, Spain is announced by the honorary guest of the fair, and therefore there are a lot of events dedicated to this country (the day of the guest of the fair will take place on December 1, on Thursday).
However, the publishers of other countries of the world will also present to the guests of the fairs an interesting program: there will be about 140 events in total, including meetings with such famous writers as Lionel Durua (France), Judit Miller (France), Kodzi Suzuki (Japan), Eryric Nyut (Norway), Annika Thor (Sweden) and many others. Not only writers, but also scientists are invited to participate in the program. One of the major events of the fair - the festival of the world ideas of the magazine "Around the World".
During the fair, there will be a ceremony of presenting a variety of bonuses: having the underground sources of the award named after Andrei Bely, French Literary Prizes named after Vaxmamer and A. Leroy-Boleier, Prize "The Man of the Book" and others.
The children's program will be noticeable - in 6 days of the fairy, 100 events will be held.
The case will not be limited to books. According to tradition, a special vinyl disks fair will be held in the framework of Non / Fiction . VINYL Club .
“Polit.ru” tried to highlight the most significant, from our point of view, the event of the fair - excluding the festival “Around the World” that deserves separate attention.
