Julya Rabinowich is an Austrian writer; born in St. Petersburg, she emigrated to Vienna in December 1977 where she lives and works. She studied painting, philosophy and translation and has established herself as a playwright, painter and writer. She is a regular columnist for the Austrian newspaper Der Standard, contributing weekly columns addressing current issues.

Rabinowich’s work responds to the politics around asylum and the European refugee experience, while refusing to be confined to any particular political agenda or movement.

The European Literature Network was created with the mission of championing great writing from Europe in the UK – and doing it together. Open to writers, translators, publishers, agents, booksellers, festival directors, arts managers and journalists, ELNet is a free, collaborative hub for sharing news and views.

ELNet operates without funding or grants (unfortunately) and is therefore dependent on the passion, professionalism and dedication of our core team and on an extensive network of volunteers, supporters, partners and donors.
