Radka Denemarková in conversation with Monika Zgustová

Radka Denemarková is one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in contemporary Czech literature — a novelist, playwright, and translator whose fiction delves into unresolved social issues such as xenophobia, homophobia, and misogyny. For Denemarková, these challenges are deeply connected to the rise of nationalism and the struggle for fundamental human rights in a still deeply patriarchal Eastern Europe. Her latest published work is Sangre de chocolate.

She will speak with Monika Zgustová, a Spanish-Czech writer and translator whose work explores exile — both internal and external — and the everyday impact of authoritarian regimes on personal freedom.

At the end of the event, the author will sign copies of her books
