BIG BOOK FESTIVAL
24th – 26th June 2022
WARSAW, OTWOCKA 14
Join us for the 10th edition of the most exciting literary festival in Warsaw.
Meet us at Otwocka 14 in Warsaw, at the heart of Praga Północ district, where we reimagine the former gum factory into a world of literature. This year’s theme GOOD-BYE AND GOOD-LUCK! reflects on the decade of exciting experiments in literature and inspires to look forward to what’s coming next – in books and art. Join us for 40 events taking place over three days, with visits by 100 guests from Poland and abroad.
After the pandemic brake we relaunch personal visits from foreign writers and embrace the chance of meeting in person again.
All festival events are free of charge. None of them will be streamed on-line.
Just be there!

THE PILL OF GOOD AND EVIL
Is our world hounded by the ghosts of the past? Can we remain lucid with the triumphs of alt-right and the grip of on-line culture on our lives? Are there still values to be kept and saved? Listen to HARI KUNZRU, reknowned British writer, whose latest acclaimed novel is the „The Red Pill”.

GRAB IT AND RUN
What was it like to live and hustle in South Kilburn, a war zone of London city, among boys all too eager to become men. With violence and vengeance at all cost, between hope and despair. And how he left it all behind. Listen to GABRIEL KRAUZE, British author of Polish origin, talking about his smashing first novel “Who They Was”.
