In the organizer's words:
Patrik Banga: I was angry at the whole world
The story of a Prague Rom
Patrik Banga tells the unsparing yet poetic story of growing up and coming of age as a Roma in Prague. He was awarded the prestigious Czech book prize Magnesia Litera in 2022 for his moving story.
About the content:
The Banga family emigrated from Slovakia to the Czech Republic in the 1950s. Patrik's childhood and youth in the 1980s and 1990s were characterized by poverty and discrimination, fear and violence. However, the cohesion of the Roma community and a keen sense of home and homelessness also influenced his life early on.
The autobiographical narrative not only holds up a mirror to Czech society. The numerous photos, which even in black and white convey a vivid impression of the city and its inhabitants, are particularly vivid.
The reading will be moderated by Ruben Höppner, the publisher of the German edition; the discussion will be interpreted by Dr. Ivana von den Driesch.
