The interview will be conducted by their translators Eva Profousová and Ernest Wichner. The works of both authors are linked by the theme of coercion and repression faced by women in patriarchal and authoritarian systems.
The event is part of the "Souvenir" project, in which around 30 readings by authors from Eastern and Central Europe will take place in 11 literary houses across German-speaking countries from October 2022 until the end of this year.
