Literary history – Taking stock in the Visegrád countries
With György Dalos (Hungary), Radka Denemarková (Czech Republic), György DragománAnna T. Szabó (Hungary), presented by Silvia Szarkova
The novels of Radka Denemarková and György Dragomán show different approaches to dealing with the past in the Visegrád countries. György Dragomán’s “White King” is a subjective examination of the experience of dictatorship seen through the eyes of a child. With the works of Radka Denemarková, the new wave, already established in Poland, now brings Czech literature face to face with the taboo themes of the past. Poetry has also reached this point, as in the work of Anna T. Szabó which deciphers perceptions of the past.
