SLS Lithuania 2012 will take place in Vilnius, a startlingly beautiful old city located in the very heart of Europe. Remarkable for the sheer richness and diversity of its historical, cultural, and literary heritage, the city has served as a source of inspiration, or been the safe haven and home to some of the major figures of Lithuanian, Russian, Slavic, and Yiddish literature and culture. In addition to intensive daytime workshops of the highest caliber, taught by leading North American and international writers, participants will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the living history of Vilnius, both through the in-depth and offbeat lectures and walking city tours with Vilnius’ leading historian, Laimonas Briedis.
