text
· a small language, a wide reachSodobna slovenska književnost je raznolika in živa. Pisatelji se lotevajo osebnih in družbenih tem, od osamljenosti v mestu do vprašanj identitete. Poezija ostaja močna, čeprav jo bere manj ljudi kot nekoč. Knjižni sejem in literarne nagrade, kot je kresnik, vsako leto opozorijo na nove glasove. Prevodi slovenskih del v tuje jezike širijo našo literaturo po svetu.

Contemporary Slovene literature is diverse and alive. Writers tackle personal and social themes, from urban loneliness to questions of identity. Poetry remains strong, though fewer people read it than before. The book fair and literary prizes, such as the kresnik, draw attention to new voices each year. Translations of Slovene works into foreign languages spread our literature around the world.
