Throughout July, the Author’s Reading Month (Měsíc autorského čtení, MAČ) will bring together Czech and international writers in a literary format unlike any other in Europe. This year’s guest of honour is Greenland, whose little-known literary scene will be showcased through around 30 events in Brno and five other cities. Pavel Drábek, the festival’s international programme director, translator and academic, told Radio Prague International why this choice has been years in the making and goes far beyond current geopolitical headlines.
The festival opens this Wednesday with Greenlandic artist and writer Jessie Kleemann alongside Czech author Jáchym Topol, and will end on July 31 with a special appearance by Togolese writer and explorer Tété-Michel Kpomassie, author of An African in Greenland, a travel memoir that has become a classic.
