Is it true that everybody in Norway writes crime novels? What are the main topics in this literature right now? Is the Norwegian literature popular in the Czech Republic?
Not only these questions will be answered during a discussion about Norwegian literature and its translations into Czech. The guests will be two Czech translators from Norwegian and also editors Daniela Mrázová and Eva Kecková, who will talk about the main topics in modern Norwegian literature, about the most interesting books published during the last few years in Czech and about their life of professional translators thanks to which Czech readers can get acquainted with the literature from the country of fjords and mountain ridges.
Moderated by Jan-Marek Šík.
