Description
MARKÉTA PILÁTOVÁ – A writer who connects to the mythical, fairy-tale sources of storytelling. She bridges the gap between the Czech Republic and Latin America, between the dramatic events of the twentieth century and the present, between imagery-rich poetry and action-oriented prose. Her texts evoke incantations, spells, witchcraft. Wild, chaotic, fantastic. Most closely associated with magical realism. Always full of energy and enjoyment. "Markéta Pilátová writes convincingly about a young man with rather vague notions of war and his role in it (...) The fact that this particular novel is now appearing in German can only be welcomed. From an unusual perspective and with a character who seems more an anti-hero than a hero, 'The Hero of Madrid' directs attention to a distressing chapter of 20th-century European history." TANJA DÜCKERS
