Birutė Jonuškaitė, a Lithuanian writer born and raised in Sejny/Seinai [Polish/Lithuanian] County, Poland, became one of the most consistent storytellers of genuine cross-national relations in Lithuanian literature. In all her novels, the writer, who settled in Vilnius after her studies at Vilnius University, tells stories about the life of the Lithuanian diaspora in Poland, and in her latest novels, Maranta (2015) and Maestro (2019), she brings to life a literary epic about the historical relations between Lithuanian, Polish, Jewish and French families. These relations burgeon at the beginning of the century in the province of Lithuania where the borders of several countries converge, to unfold over the coming decades across the thoroughfares and capitals of Europe and the world. Separated by the vicissitudes of war and history, whole families and individuals alike find each other because in response to the call of human warmth and love.

Birutė Jonuškaitė, litewska pisarka urodzona i wychowana w powiecie sejneńskim w Polsce, stała się w literaturze litewskiej jedną z najbardziej konsekwentnych autorek opowiadających prawdziwe historie o sąsiedztwie. Po studiach na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim Jonuškaitė pozostała w Wilnie. We wszystkich swoich powieściach opowiada o życiu diaspory litewskiej na ziemiach polskich. W ostatnich utworach, Maranta (2015) i Maestro (2019), tworzy swoisty epos literacki o historycznych związkach między rodzinami litewskimi i polskimi. Związki te rodzą się na litewskiej prowincji, na początku wieku, w miejscu, w którym zbiegają się granice kilku państw, a następnie w ciągu dziesięcioleci rozszerzają się na drogi i stolice Europy i świata. W tych powieściach, dotyczących problemów ogólnoludzkich, granica i pogranicze stają się istotnym problematycznym punktem orientacyjnym.

Music is not a very topical theme in contemporary Lithuanian literature. The Lithuanian literature saved its meditative and visual nature during the most difficult epoch of historical and social cataclysms, and only some romanticists and symbolists talked about an exceptional music effect on human organism (prosaist Šatrijos Ragana, poet Vincas Mykolaitis-Putinas). Only few auhtors invoke the tune and symbolism of music in contemporary Lithuanian literature. A. A. Jonynas, one of the most popular poets, created verses in the rythm of jazz, swing, hard rock, metal, rock‘n‘roll during the Soviet period. The idea of music lived the freedom of form, the idea of freedom in general in that creation. Postmodernist G. Grajauskas choosed the tune of music in his book Bone pipe (1999) in order to discuss difficult existential questions. Playing, whistling, singing means the rythm of breathing and existence in that creation. The sense of musical harmony is more likely to be associated with the experience of silence in contemporary Lithuanian literature (G. Cieškaitė, D. Kajokas, N. Miliauskaitė).
