Ulysses' Shelter: building writers-in-residence network

organizes literary residences for young writers, translators and editors. The project will begin at the end of 2018 at three locations - in Ljubljana, Larissa and in Pomena on the island of Mljet, organized by Sandorf publishing house from Zagreb, in partnership with Slovenian Writers' Society (DSP) from Ljubljana and publishing house Thraka from Larissa. Each resident will spend three weeks on each location from December 2018 to October 2019, and the idea of the project is to gradually extend the network of partners to other European countries in the future and to bring together artists from around the world and expose the creative potential of various European locations. Tovar.hr is the main means of informing about the Ulysses' Shelter project - about the residents, their work, and events within the project (readings, workshops, conferences and social events with residents).

Ulysses' Shelter laureate for 2024/2025

Every year, Sandorf selects one laureate among the previous Croatian participants in the Ulysses' Shelter project. The chosen laureate travels to several destinations of the project partners' countries and presents their work at literary festivals and other events. The laureate for 2024/2025 is Marija Andrijašević.

Marija Andrijašević (b. 1984, Split) is a Croatian writer. She holds an MA in Comparative Literature and Ethnology and Social Anthropology (2015) from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. In 2007, she won the "Goran for Young Poets" award for her book of poetry “davide, svašta su mi radili” (“david, they did things to me”). Her first novel “Zemlja bez sutona” ("The Land Without Twilight") was published in 2021. The novel was awarded the “Tportal Literary Award” for best novel in 2022 and the “Štefica Cvek” Regional Award as one of the best nine novels published in 2021 in the countries of BCSM languages. In 2023, she published a book of poetry “Temeljenje kuće” ("The Founding of a House"). She is a member of Versopolis, a European platform for emerging poets.
