WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Williams Bookstore on Tuesday, March 29, from 5–6 p.m. will present "Expat Lit from an Eastern Europe on Edge."

 

The event is free, and a portion of book sales will benefit Migration Aid, a Budapest-based volunteer non-governmental organization. 

 

Seattle native and longtime Budapest ex-pat Duncan Robertson will discuss his debut novel, "Visegrad."  

 

He will be joined in conversation by Paul Olchváry, publisher of Williamstown-based New Europe Books and a fellow onetime Budapest ex-pat. 

 

The two will discuss both "Visegrad," the legacy of Czech writer Jaroslav Hašek's "The Good Soldier Svejk" and ex-pats and their literature in Europe in relation to the recent crisis in Ukraine.

 

The Williams Bookstore is located at 81 Spring St.
