![Bild zu Introduction to Dora Kaprálová](https://www.villa-concordia.de/_ipx/w_1196&f_webp/https://web-api.villa-concordia.de/fileadmin/_processed_/c/f/csm_Dora_Kapr%25C3%25A1lov%25C3%25A1-by-RonaldRinklef-150ppi-8_IKVC_4873132def.jpg)

The European Union Prize for Literature (EUPL) has just been awarded to [Dora Kaprálová](https://ikvc-preview.gigabit.dev/en/artists/dora-kapralova)! 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](https://czechia2026.com/t/von-kopp-natasa-3/) 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](https://mikrotext.de/book/dora-kapralova-die-mariborhypnose/). 

You may also follow an interview with the author by Denis Scheck in his TV Literature Magazine *Druckfrisch (scroll to minute 20)*:
