Tunisia to partake in 15th Taobuk-Taormina Book Festival, says Antonella Ferrara

Tunis: "It is a privilege for us to welcome Tunisia in the 15th edition of the Taobuk-Taormina Book Festival, due in 2025," Festival President and Artistic Director Antonella Ferrara told TAP at the end of a meeting held on Monday in Tunis to present the 14th edition of this festival.

This festival will see the participation of over 200 artists, writers, scientists, actors, painters, musicians, philosophers and economists, including Norwegian writer Jon Fosse, winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize for Literature French author Yasmina Reza, American writer Jonathan Safran Foer, Serbian contemporary visual artist Marina Abramovic and Italian dancer Nicoletta Manni.
