As the Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair, Czechia and its literature are in the spotlight of the German-language media throughout the year. Here, we would like to present a selection of articles on Czech literature that have been published recently.

NZZ and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported on our press trip to Bohemia.

Tagesschau.de and MDR provided detailed coverage of Mitteldeutscher Verlag, which offers a wide selection of new Czech releases.

Ondřej Hübl’s novel "Der Vorhang" was reviewed by Deutschlandfunk Kultur and WDR Westart.

Petr Šesták’s story about a bicycle courier who navigates his way through the madness of traffic every day, “Ausgebrannt,” was reviewed by Deutschlandfunk Kultur and on faustkultur.de.

Czech children’s books were also widely discussed: Lenka Blaze’s “Ich bin introvertiert” was featured in “Büchermarkt” by Deutschlandfunk Kultur, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reviewed Iva Procházková’s “Mentha,” and Marita Kelbl’s “Weder Junge noch Mädchen” was featured in Spiegel.

In addition, Buchmarkt reported on Dora Kaprálová, who won the Magnesia Litera Prize. And Süddeutsche Zeitung covered the residency of Czech artists at the Künstlerhaus in Bamberg.
