Subject: O Igu Grudnu na Besedni postaji 

Knjigarna FF na Besedni postaji v četrtek, 16. aprila, ob 19.30 uri 
predstavlja dokumentarni film o pesniku Igu Grudnu Glasnik slovenske Brežine.
Častni gost večera bo akademik dr. Anton Vratuša, ki  bo spregovoril o svoji 
tragični izkušnji ter o malo poznanih fašističnih taboriščih v Gonarsu in na Rabu, 
o katerih je Igo Gruden napisal pretresljive verze, za katere Boris Pahor meni, 
da spadajo v sam vrh taboriščne literature. Dogodek bo povezovala prof. dr. Tatjana 
Rojc. Vabljeni!
