Czech Books Changing narratives from the smaller countries of Europe
If you are a writer from one of the smaller countries of Europe, writing in a language spoken by a few million or perhaps just a few hundred thousand people, your chances of finding an international readership are almost non-existent. The organization Literature Across Frontiers has been working to redress the balance, helping to draw attention to writers from all corners of the continent, and above all struggling to get their work published and translated internationally. At the recent Bookworld book fair in Prague, the driving force behind the organization, Alexandra Büchler, chaired a fascinating discussion involving four young writers from smaller European countries. Afterwards they all joined me to talk about some of the themes that came up during the discussion:
