The Ukrainian-Austrian prose writer Tanja Maljartschuk interrupted work on a new novel in the wake of Russia's war against her homeland and has since turned to essays. Poet and Artist in Residence Artist Nikola Madžirov from North Macedonia has also written more essays in recent years, thought-provoking texts about his origins and the situation in south-eastern Europe.

In conversation with Katja Gasser, we will discuss not only his personal turn to this literary genre, but also the significance of the essay for social debate in general.
