The 2024 event explored the theme of ‘Writers as Travellers’and Malta was represented by Loranne Vella, who participated in a panel discussion on travelling through language, during which she also had the opportunity to read an extract in Maltese from her book ‘Rokit’. The European Literature Night was concluded by an excellent performance by Loranne, through a literary piece which was originally written by herself and translated to English by Joe Gatt. The work recounts her journey through the eyes of a young child walking around the saltpans of Birzebbuga.
Loranne Vella (b.1972) is a Maltese writer, translator and performer based in Brussels. She has been awarded the Malta National Book Council's ‘National Book Prize’ on a number of occassions, including the award for ‘Best Novel in Maltese or English’ for Rokit (2018) and Marta Marta (2023). Loranne is also co-editor of the Maltese-language literary journal Aphroconfuso.
