![]() ![]() The Krakow book fair attracts tens of thousands of readers each year, drawn both by the opportunity of seeing a famous writer up close and buying books at preferential prices. “We acted on the assumption that as book fairs are held in most major cities in Poland, but not in Gdańsk – or Sopot, or Gdynia for that matter – we had to organize them.” “This is a private initiative,” confirms Magdalena Kalisz, originator and co-organizer of the Gdańsk Book Fair. This is an unprecedented event in Gdańsk. The City Culture Institute will take part in the Fair, and the CCI hallway will host two author Q&As. The event will feature the best Polish publishing houses, names to be reckoned with in the literary world, important meetings, debates around new publications, themed exhibitions and workshops meant to popularize aesthetics and book design. From prose and poetry, to popular science and artists’ books, as well as the thriving genre of children’s literature. ![]() From mainstream fiction, renowned authors and best-selling writers to débuts. The Gdańsk Book Fair – the first event of that scale in the Pomerania region – aims to present a wide range of literary genres. ![]()
