Pescara opens FLA with more than 250 events designed to restart questions
From 5 to 8 November, the Festival of Books and Other Things brings authors, translation, comics and Abruzzo literature across the city.

Pescara opens the twenty-fourth FLA – Festival of Books and Other Things on 5 November, following the municipality’s presentation on 4 November. Until 8 November, more than 250 events will occupy theatres, museums, cultural spaces and schools, spanning literature, journalism, cinema, music and comics. The Abruzzo L.O.C. section will involve over 120 writers from the region, while A fronte focuses on translation and the way languages transform stories. Around two hundred volunteers will support the organisation. Almost all events are free to attend; readers should consult the complete programme for the venue, time and access arrangements of each meeting. The festival’s guiding idea is to make room for curiosity and disagreement rather than hurried answers.
