Introduction to Dora Kaprálová
Event
The European Union Prize for Literature (EUPL) has just been awarded to Dora Kaprálová! Since mid-April, she has been working out of Bamberg as the recipient of the 2026/27 Villa Concordia Fellowship from the Free State of Bavaria. There, she is presenting her latest work, Die Mariborhypnose, together with her translator Nataša von Kopp and her publisher Nikola Richter of mikrotext.
Her new book, which will also be available in German at the Book Fair—where the Czech Republic is the guest of honor—paints a portrait of a small town from the perspective of a housefly: mikrotext.de-die-mariborhypnose.
You may also follow an interview with the author by Denis Scheck in his TV Literature Magazine Druckfrisch (scroll to minute 20):
