New Literature from Europe Festival

For the first time, this annual bookfest tacks on a three-day film series to its usual offerings. This year’s theme is crime fiction from the Continent, and the sampling starts Fri 18 with a screening of 2011 Polish thriller Entanglement (Uwiklanie). The movie is about a gruesome murder in Krakow that is eerily similar to a homicide committed two decades earlier when the country was still behind the Iron Curtain. A talk with the book’s author, Zygmunt Miloszewski, follows.
