Today's guest, Kateřina Tučková (who we refer to as Katka in the episode), is a Czech author, playwright, publicist, art historian, and curator of exhibitions. She has won several literary awards, including the Magnesia Litera Award and the Czech Bestseller Award. In 2017, she was awarded the Freedom, Democracy and Human Rights Award by the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes. She also has received the Premio Libro d’Europa at the Book Fair in Salerno, Italy. Her books have been translated into twenty languages.
We approached Katka to talk about her book The Last Goddess because of the way that its form--composed of research documents as well as narrative--contributes to not only the dramatic structure but also the meaning of her novel. We talk in particular about the way that these authoritarian systems treated the goddesses as if they were dangerous, and "the struggle of single women against the many-headed hydra of political power."
You can find Katka on Instagram and Facebook.
