Cafe Europa was a part of HOME/LAND/S, an international symposium that lasted between 16 and 20 November.
The symposium was organized with the support of the Iowa Writing Program (IWP).
The describtion of Cafe Europa is to be found here.
The first symposium organized and hosted by IWP from 2006-2008 brought together writers from around the world to the Greek island of Paros. The 16-20 November symposium was the continuation of the Paros sessions.
The detailed describtion of the idea that stood behind the HOME/LAND/S symposium is to be found here.
We recommend reading the essays of the participants of the symposium. They were composed in the wake of the November event and are finally collected, edited and available in an on-line anthology. The essays are available here.
