Drago Jančar – literary evening with the author at Libertas, Koper

On Wednesday 11 November 2026 at 8:00 PM, the main hall of Libertas in Koper welcomes Drago Jančar (born 1948), one of the best-loved and, by broad critical consensus, the most important contemporary Slovenian writer. His public appearances have been very rare for years, making this meeting with readers a genuine highlight. Jančar has won the Kresnik award for best novel of the year no fewer than four times – for Zvenenje v glavi, Katarina, pav in jezuit, To noč sem jo videl and In ljubezen tudi – as well as the Kresnik for novel of the decade, for To noč sem jo videl. The conversation will be led by Libertas programme director Andraž Gombač, who will also ask Jančar about the short stories he is currently writing. Actor Rok Matek will read excerpts from the author's works. The evening is part of the Libertas Festival, supported by the Ministry of Culture, and is not to be missed by anyone interested in Slovenian and Central European literature. Admission is free, but registration via the online form is required.
