On October 28, European Literature Night brought writing from 14 European countries to the Ukrainian Institute of America. Readings, conversations, and encounters with authors and translators offered New York audiences an evening of literary discovery.
Across the building, visitors moved between intimate readings and panel discussions moderated by PEN America, exploring women’s lives, literary experimentation, resilience, and Europe’s turbulent history. Czech writer Petra Hůlová presented The Long Version and joined Jean-Claude van Rijckeghem and Laura Vogt for the panel In the Land of Women.
Book signings and a closing reception gave readers and writers time to continue the conversations. Explore the evening in our photo gallery.
