Conversation with Lucie Faulerová (Czech Republic) and Anja Mugerli (Slovenia)
A conversation with two women writers who belong to almost the same generation and have a similar academic background. Anja Mugerli was born in 1984 and graduated in Slavic Studies, and Lucie Faulerová was born in 1989 and graduated in Bohemistics. Both books – Mugerli with her collection of stories "Bee Family" and Faulerova with her novel "Deathmaiden" – have received the European Union Prize for Literature. Faulerová’s novel deals with one of the most tabooed and complex topics of today, which is rarely talked about out loud, openly and without prejudice – suicide, while the central theme of all seven short stories in Mugerly's book is the family. What subtly unites these two books are the existential themes related to family relationships, maturation, personal freedom and – the question of how to reach the core of life.
The event will be moderated by Aleksandar Madjarovski and Ana Golejška Dјikova.
