The format
Four times a year, one edition, one work. Guests arrive Friday, Saturday the reading and what follows, Sunday the afterglow.
Three to five people stay with the author in the same house. Meals, evenings by the fire, morning coffee. No distance between audience and guest. The conversation unfolds over the whole weekend.
The public event on Saturday takes place at Zvjezdane Staze or in the šadrvan of Ibrišimović agro-tourism: a traditional Bosnian gathering room, carpets, wooden seating, fireplace. About thirty seats. In good weather, the doors open to the garden.
Why this format
Reading is a solitary act. The questions it raises belong to the world.
A weekend together permits what brevity forecloses. Living in the same house, eating together, walking the same paths. Proximity changes the encounter. The grasp.
The selection is curatorial: memory, regional context, ethics, existence, the hypothetical. Before the weekend, guests receive the book. The conversation begins before arrival.
