In brief: Two different stories about people – these are the impressions from the exhibition of Seamus McGuinness and Tania Candiani that was open at Meno Parkas gallery under the flag of Kaunas biennial “Textile09”.
The cover of the book "My Love in Glass Gumshoes” is designed “like a postcard with a memento written on the other side” according to the author.

In brief: As long as we live in Kaunas, we may observe investments of the city municipality into projects of bicycle roads. They are washed away by rain again and again, and cyclers continue feeling unsafe.

In brief: The majority of readers forecast that the winner of the Book of the Year is clear: the historical novel by Kristina Sabaliauskaitė “Silva Rerum”. Readers and critics agree regarding the popularity of the novel: it is a good example of popular literature. The debut book of K.Sabaliauskaitė usually receives only praise; however, when attempts are made to look at it more critically, inadequate reactions of apologists of the writer appear.
Doesn’t sincerely mean originally? I praise everyone who does not fear his/her natural, even though antique, feeling, who prohibits “desecration of a word” and who thinks before publishing selections of poems whether it would not be one more avalanche of words pressing down the reader. Poetry either exists or doesn’t. It is impossible to invent anything here, no matter what eloquence, expertise or arsenal of lexis you have.
