European Literature Network Podcasts

In the fourth episode of Europe Readr The Riveting Interview podcast, the journalist and presenter Rosie Goldsmith meets Akvilė Kavaliauskaitė, a journalist, screenwriter, director and lyricist from Lithuania. They engage in a conversation on journalism, the political situation in Lithuania, what it means to be a writer today and her recent book "Bodies", a collection of short stories from around Europe. Akvilė has successfully made her debut with the partly autobiographical novel "Two Lives in a Single Summer" (2015), which was a great Lithuanian bestseller. Her short-story collection "Kūnai" was selected last year as the best adult book of the year. This episode is brought to you by The European Literature Network in partnership with EUNIC London, the Lithuanian Cultural Institute and the Embassy of Lithuania in London.
