Discussion

Contemporary Irish Literature
Irish culture is not just music and dance, but also words. What comes to mind when you think of Irish literature? Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett or James Joyce? But these authors are long dead, so what book should we pick up if we want to see which words Irish authors speaks today? And what significance does contemporary Irish literature and theatre have for us here and now in the Czech Republic? Do we have the opportunity to encounter it here at all? These are all questions that we will discuss in a lecture on contemporary Irish literature with Eva Seanínel Kolomazníková, a translator of theater plays, dramaturgist, playwright and our photographer.
