Other Words / Literary evening:
Gregor Lozar
18. 12. 2017
Literary evenings held in December 2017 at the MMC Kibla were part of the project Other words and offered an interesting selection of mostly middle-generation Slovenian authors. The literary evenings were moderated by Tonja Jelen.
Gregor Lozar (1980) lives and works in Maribor. Mostly a prose-writer, he is tempted by poetry and playwriting as well. His literary path began in high school. He was the cultural editor of the student newspaper Katedra, has had a radio broadcast about literature on Radio Marš, and written introductions for Litera publishers. He has published a book of short stories entitled Spačene (Grimaces), and co-authored a children’s book, Zmajeve solze (Dragon’s Tears). He believes that by writing a book he has justified his existence. He is appreciated for his contributions to short story slam competitions. Lozar is a master of conveying somewhat bizarre, even twisted situations, pepping them up with an abundance of humor, which is more than welcome in Slovene literature.
