Čez trideset let Res, pri Vilenici čutimo odlično dediščino, ki so nam jo zapustili Veno Taufer, Aleksander Peršolja, Barbara Šubert in vsi drugi sodelujoči pri prvih Na prvem mednarodnem literarnem srečanju festivalih; ti so zasejali ugled Vilenice doma in v Vilenica leta 1986 je sodelovalo 16 avtorjev, svetu in trudimo se, da bi ga negovali, ne zapravili. med njimi kasnejši nagrajenci Péter Esterházy, Morda bodo tako čutili tudi tisti, ki pridejo za Jan Skácel, Zbigniew Herbert in Slavko Mihalić, nami. Tudi čez trideset let. Tisti, ki ste tukaj danes, kasnejša nobelovka Wisława Szymborska in seveda jutri, včeraj, pa se boste, upam, počutili dobro že prvi vileniški nagrajenec Fulvio Tomizza. Od zdaj. Književnost odzvanja v času in prostoru, a Slovencev Lojze Kovačič. Koncept je bil jasen: najbolje zazveni v pravem trenutku zase – naj jih vrhunski srednjeevropski avtorji, med njimi bo tudi tridesetič veliko! enakopravni, a ne prevladujoči slovenski. Andrej Blatnik predsednik žirije Vilenice Avtorjev in dogajanja je bilo iz leta v leto več in običajno obletnice silijo, naj bo vsega še več: več gostov, več blišča in spektakla. Bolj ko so okrogle, več naj bo tega »več«. Pri Vilenici smo se, ko smo razpravljali, kako se lotiti njene tridesete inkar- nacije, bolj in bolj odločali za obratno pot – ne želimo neprenehne rasti, temveč poglobitve.

Razlogi niso finančni, ampak konceptualni. Na vse več področjih vsi skupaj zaznavamo prena- sičenost, nekateri materialno (angleščina pozna izraz stuffocation, zadušenost s stvarmi), mnogi informacijsko. Ker je vsega toliko, se ne moremo posvetiti tistemu, kar je res pomembno. Zato je na 30. festivalu nekaj manj avtorjev, ki pa jim velja več pozornosti; ker si to zaslužijo.

Vilenica nikdar ni hotela biti trženjsko orodje kulturne industrije, ampak oblika povezovanja. Danes vezi, ki jih je spletla, segajo daleč prek Srednje Evrope: veliko znanih avtorjev, pišočih v manjših evropskih jezikih, je svoj prvi prevod v angleščino, ki omogoča začetek globalnega branja, dobilo na Vilenici. Veliko pa smo pridobili tudi Slovenci: naše avtorje se vabi na ugledne festivale, objavljajo v tujini, antologija slovenske literature je izšla tudi v irščini, in ko sem septembra na zadnji strani New York Review of Books, najbolj vplivnega literarnega medija na svetu, videl oglas za osem knjig založbe Dalkey Archive Press, med katere je uvrstila štiri prevedene iz slovenščine, sem si rekel: Očitno je Vilenica delala dobro. 4 · · 5

We encounter oversaturation in an increasing number of areas; some related to material things (for example, there is an increase in the use of the English blend stuffocation, denoting a suffocating excess of stuff), many more to information. Due to the excess of everything, we cannot focus on what is truly important. The 30th Vilenica Festival may be hosting fewer guests than usual, but the authors will receive all the more attention; because they deserve it.

Vilenica has never aspired to become a marketing tool for the cultural industry but rather a meeting place. Today, the ties it has forged reach far beyond Central Europe. Many acclaimed authors who write in smaller European languages were privy to receiving the very first translation of their work into English – enabling them to become read on a global scale – at Vilenica. We, Slovenians, have also gained a lot. Our authors are invited to distinguished festivals, they publish abroad, the Anthology of Slovenian 6 · table of contents kazalo · 7
