Suomen kirjallisuusvienti kasvoi vuonna 2021 neljällä prosentilla. Tätä voi pitää työvoittona pandemia-aikoina. Vientitulot ylsivät lähes 3,7 miljoonaan euroon. Kirjallisuuden vientikeskus FILI teettää vuosittain selvityksen kirjallisuusviennin arvosta.

FILI on jo vuosia lahjoittanut säännöllisesti Monikieliselle kirjastolle Suomen kirjallisuuden käännöksiä, sodan alettua annoimme koko ukrainankielisen kokoelmamme. Toivottavasti muutkin pystyvät auttamaan!

Bolla, by Pajtim Statovci, tr. by @countertenorist.

From the author of @nationalbook finalist Crossing comes an unlikely #lovestory in #Kosovo with unpredictable consequences that reverberates throughout a young man's life—a tale full of fury, tenderness, longing, & lust.
