Hundreds Pay Tribute to Author Pahor

Ljubljana, 27 August - The Linhart hall of the Ljubljana Cankarjev dom was by far too small for everyone who wanted to pay tribute to writer Boris Pahor upon his 96th birthday on Wednesday evening. However, the Trieste-based author said he would be glad if the interest in the Slovenian minority was as keen as it was in him that night.
