Migration, globalization, the rise of populism and a turbulent history create complex identity issues in our contemporary societies. During his visit to Amsterdam Claudio Magris speaks with us about literary imagination, changing borders and identity politics. What does his intellectual, artistic and political engagement mean for current public debates in Europe? How can literature contribute to such complex European issues and challenges?
