You are invited to finish 17. Reading badges for adults with Jani Virk.
Jani Virk (1962) is one of the most recognizable Slovenian names of prose in recent decades, and otherwise the editor-in-chief of the game programme of television Slovenia. He is the author of more than fifteen prose texts – novels, short prose, essays, some "excursion into poetry" of an older date and a scientific monograph. Years ago, some of his works were included on the adult reading badge ( love in the air; what was carried away by the river, what was carried away by smoke; among the trees), and in the last two seasons, as part of the "badge", we read the novels of Jake and Vana, a story from the Eighties (Beletrina, 2021) and this year return home (Goga, 2023). In 1999, he was awarded the Preseren fund prize for the prose collection a look at T'akulcho Brahe , and in 2018, The Mayor's prize.
The guest will be interviewed by the host Ajda Klepej (2001), a graduate comparativist and historian. She is currently studying comparative literature, literary theory and translation at the Master's degree at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana, while establishing herself as a writer of literary critics and following the Slovenian publishing and literary scene with great enthusiasm.
The evening in the library will be enriched by a quartet of saxophone students (Ema Kovac, Sara Stih, Jakob Skorja, may School of arms) of the Lasko – Radecka music school with prof. Nevi Marn Hafner.
They will be happy if you celebrate with them the end of this year's reading badge for adults and get to know the work of one of the most important contemporary Slovenian authors!
Vabljeni na zaključek 17. Bralne značke za odrasle z Janijem Virkom.
Jani Virk (1962) je eno prepoznavnejših slovenskih imen proze zadnjih desetletij, sicer pa glavni in odgovorni urednik Igranega programa Televizije Slovenija. Je avtor več kot petnajstih proznih besedil – romanov, kratke proze, esejev, kakšnega »izleta v poezijo« starejšega datuma in znanstvene monografije. Že pred leti smo nekatere njegovih del uvrstili na Bralno značko za odrasle ( Ljubezen v zraku; Kar je odnesla reka, kar je odnesel dim; Med drevesi ), v zadnjih dveh sezonah pa smo v okviru »Značke« brali romana Jaka in Vane, zgodba iz osemdesetih (Beletrina, 2021) ter letos Vrnitev domov (Goga, 2023). Leta 1999 je prejel nagrado Prešernovega sklad za prozno zbirko Pogled na Tycho Brahe , leta 2018 pa Župančičevo nagrado.
Z gostom se bo pogovarjala domačinka Ajda Klepej (2001), diplomirana komparativistka in zgodovinarka. Trenutno študira primerjalno književnost in literarno teorijo ter prevajanje na magistrski stopnji na Filozofski fakulteti v Ljubljani, ob tem pa se uveljavlja kot piska literarnih kritik ter z velikim navdušenjem spremlja slovensko založniško in literarno sceno.
Večer v knjižnici bo glasbeno obogatil kvartet učencev saksofona (Ema Kovač, Sara Štih, Jakob Škorja, Maj Šola Orožim) Glasbene šole Laško – Radeče pri prof. Nevi Marn Hafner.
Veseli bodo, če skupaj z njimi obeležite zaključek letošnje Bralne značke za odrasle in spoznate delo enega pomembnejših sodobnih slovenskih avtorjev!
