Would you like to find out more about the young Czech novelist Kateřina Tučková? Listen to the interview!
Kateřina Tučková is one of the most successful young Czech novelists. Her powerful novel Gerta – focused on the cruel treatment of ethnic Germans in the immediate aftermath of the war – has just been published in English. Another of her works based on extensive historical research is The Žítková Goddesses, a best-selling novel about a group of female healers in the White Carpathians.
In this revealing conversation, Tučková discusses her relatively late blossoming as a writer, how moving to a Brno district with a fascinating history sparked Gerta, juggling an incredibly broad range of activities – and her much-anticipated new novel.
