Free senior club meeting in Haapsalu: Adam Cullen and Estonian literature

Meet US-born translator Adam Cullen and discover Estonian literature from a fresh perspective. The senior club “Why Do I Live in Estonia…” invites seniors and older residents of Haapsalu to join a special 7th meeting.
On Wednesday, April 22, from 13:00 to 15:00, join us for a special afternoon with Adam Cullen at Café Pagu.
Together, we will explore his work as well as that of other Estonian authors. We will talk about literature and discover colors, words, and emotions within books.
Adam Cullen is a US-born translator, writer, and poet who has spent years bringing Estonian literature to English-speaking audiences. He has translated works by several well-known Estonian authors and has also gained recognition as the translator of Lennart Meri’s “Silverwhite”. In Haapsalu, he runs the café and bookstore Pagu, a place where literature, translation, and conversation come together.

The event is free of charge.
Come alone or bring a friend! Both returning participants and new visitors are warmly welcome.
The senior club will have two more upcoming meetings that you are also welcome to join:

The activities of the senior club take place במסגרת the project “Integration and Adaptation Support in Haapsalu”, which aims to provide effective support for integration and adaptation for people of diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, including newcomers and returnees.
