Local partner: Taobuk, combining literature with art, music and theatre, has always embraced strong social themes, believing that literature cannot retreat into its “ivory tower” and choosing a proper theme for each edition. Taobuk 2018, from June 24 to 28, will be dedicated to the theme Fathers and sons, the process of imparting values and identities among the generations. Taobuk recovers the traditional fate of intellectual gathering that Taormina has played over the centuries, enjoying the status of crossroads of identity, narratives, cultures, Muse and favorite destination of great writers, from Oscar Wilde to David Herbert Lawrence, from Tennessee Williams to Truman Capote.
