Rvīns Varde

Rvīns Varde (1985) works as a transcriber for the intellectual monthly magazine Rīgas Laiks, literally filling himself with the thoughts and recollections
of numerous wise and bright personalities from various countries, backgrounds, and professions. These daily, spiritual contacts have undeniably left a mark on his writing style and are sometimes referred to in his texts. It should be mentioned that birdwatching and photography are among his favorite pastimes. He has a keen eye for detail and remarkable ability to express himself in a rich and thought-provoking, yet approachable and entertaining manner. Kas te notiek [What's Goin' on There] is Varde's literary debut that was awarded the Annual Latvian Literature Award in 2020.
