Karel Pecka: “Enough already…”
- Where: Vaclav Havel Library, Řetězová 7, Prague
- When: May 23, 2014, 19:00 – 21:00
Reading from works by a late author who never wrote anything he didn’t wish to, that he didn’t mean or that either he or Czech literature would be embarrassed by. Karel Pecka (1928–1997) is – at best – known as the author of novels and short stories set against the backdrop of Communist labour camps, where he himself spent 10 years of his life. However, his work is far more extensive in both theme and genre.
This evening drawing on his poems, short stories and journalism will present Karel Pecka as a writer whose words are always – perhaps increasingly so – topical and alive.
The programme has been prepared by Markéta Kořená and students from the Literary Academy (International ART CAMPUS Prague).
