Lit Link festival is an international literary festival dedicated to a shared appreciation of contemporary literature. Along with some of the most inspiring voices of the Croatian and regional literary scene, this year’s guests are writers, editors, and publishers from Sweden and Norway.
At each of the bilingual programs, in Zagreb, Labin, and Rijeka, authors will read excerpts from their work, translated for the occasion and projected onto the screen in both languages. Each reading will be introduced by a short Q&A with the writers, about their literary practices and experiences working in various (inter)national literary fields.
The program will provide a dynamic experience to all those interested in contemporary literature and publishing, especially those interested in Swedish and Norwegian literature.

Praise for Lit link – by the incomparable Nell Zink!Lit Link is the most brilliant literary festival put on by two Croatians. They invited me to speak years ago and then again in 2023. They pick different countries each year – this time it’s Sweden and Norway – inviting not only writers from those countries but also editors and translators. They rent a van and go from Zagreb down to Istria, and it’s just insanely pretty. Last time we stopped in Labin, a jewel of a hill town with an adorable little theatre looking out over the Adriatic. It’s fun to ride around in a van and go to these unbelievably beautiful places and then read to the Croatians.
