Andrej.Blatnik2@guest.arnes.si
Blatnik started his artistic career as a bass player in a punk band. He obtained an MA in American literature. For many years he was a free-lance artist writing commercials and shooting videos, and travelling extensively. Now he works as editor with one of the major Slovenian publishing houses. He has written two novels, two collections of essays about the relationship between mass and elite culture, and four collections of short stories, some of which rank as the peak achievements of this genre in the Slovenian language. He has won numerous awards including the Zlata ptica, the Župančič Award and the Prešeren Fund Prize. Blatnik’s short stories feature urban nomads losing their way in the labyrinths of pop culture and complex relationships. He does not play music any more, but he still travels a great deal – still living on a shoestring.

Aleš Debeljak, born in 1961 in Ljubljana, has published eight books of essays and six collections of poetry. For his work he has won a number of Slovenian, former Yugoslav and international awards. Debeljak’s critical reflection on the disintegration of Yugoslavia – Twilight of the Idols – has been translated into more than twelve languages. In 2000 he published the volume of poetry Nedokončane hvalnice. Debeljak is interested in the paradoxes of European integration, and draws inspiration primarily from American theoretical writing and from his family life in Ljubljana. He is married to an American and has three children. In Cafe Europa, the nomadic community of Eastern European writers he feels just as home as among the noises made by little children or the trembling beauty of Prekmurian folk poetry.

Brane Mozetič, graduated in comparative literature from the University of Ljubljana. He lives in Ljubljana as a free-lance writer. He has published nine volumes of poetry, a short-story collection and two novels. He has edited three anthologies and translated numerous French authors including Rimbaud, Genet, Foucault, Maalouf and Brossard. For many years he has been active in civil social movements and leader of the gay movement; now he is editor of two literary collections (Aleph and Lambda), and promoter of Slovenian literature abroad. He mostly writes love poetry, which – with its open homoeroticism – is considered quite eccentric in Slovenia. His chosen themes explore the inability of surrendering to love in the every-day world of intolerance, violence and wars. In his novels Mozetie describes extreme situations in love relationships, which may end in crime. His latest novel is a film-like rendering of contemporary young generation addicted to techno culture, drugs and sex.

Boris Pahor, born in 1913 in Trieste, is a member of the Slovenian national minority in Italy, the fact, which has greatly influenced his life and literary career. For years he has fought for a better status of minority languages all over Europe, also through his activities in P.E.N. and at innumerable international conferences. He has produced a great number of books – memoirs, essays, short stories, novels – all dealing with the status of the Slovenian minority in Trieste; in his early works minority problems is the central subject. Several of his novels portray the experiences of the concentration camp internees during WW2 and their distressing attempts at being reintegrated into everyday life, the fate which Pahor – himself a Dachau survivor–personally experienced. Perhaps the most distinctive of these works is Pilgrim Among Shadows (Nekropola, 1967), an account of a former internee's feelings as he returns to the concentration camp which has been turned into a tourist attraction and can not stop asking himself: Why the internees never rebelled? Pahor's works have been most widely acclaimed in France; they have also been translated into other major world languages.

Sonja Porle, a girl from the Slovenian countryside, first travelled to Africa in 1983 and has returned every year since. Between 1989 and 1990 she lived and studied in Ghana. Graduated from the Faculty of Arts, Ljubljana, with a thesis on Growing up of Ashanti Children. On another visit home she staged a successful exhibition - Happy Africa - of recycled toys made by Ghanaian and Burkinian children. Sonja caught the eye of a wider Slovenian audience through her interviews with some of the greatest African musicians, and through other newspaper articles about West African politics, literature and music, all written in the form of short stories. Her literary debut Black Angel Watching Over Me (1997), dedicated to the late charismatic socialist president of Burkina Faso, Thomas Sankara, was received enthusiastically by the Slovenian reading public, and was reprinted three times, becoming the best-selling work of fiction in Slovenia that same year. The jury that bestowed on her the Zlata ptica award wrote that Black Angel helped Slovenians understand Africa much better than decades of the Non-aligned Movement. In the following year she published The Colour of Sweet Chocolate, her selection of newspaper articles about West Africa, which was as popular as her first book. When Sonja is not travelling in Africa, she lives in Oxford, U.K., where she daydreams about wide African skies, listens to Congolese music, and watches football. She is a passionate supporter of the Arsenal football club and the Cameroonian national team Les Lions Indomptables.

Tomaž Šalamun, born in 1941 in Zagreb, has published around thirty collections of poems in Slovenia, causing a great upheaval in Slovenian literature already with the first one (Poker, 1966): He jettisoned the intimist and traditional poetic imagery, replacing it with a free interplay of all with all. As an additional element of shock for the conservative reader he introduced the unmistakable presence of the body throughout the text. Šalamun has never lost his youthful poetic energy, even today, after having received all the highest accolades his country can bestow and been appointed Cultural Attaché with the Slovenian embassy in New York, he still remains in part the enfant terrible he was in the sixties, when he formed part of the then avant-garde. In certain respects Šalamun enjoys more popularity abroad than at home; his literary traces can be found throughout Europe, while in the United States he is considered one of the most extensively translated contemporary European poets. His verse is held in high regard by the young generation of American poets as well as the more central figures, such as Jorie Graham, Robert Creeley, David St. John, Robert Haas (author of the introductions to Šalamun's 1988 book published by Ecco Press), and Charles Simic.
