Pavla, who is a former Radio Prague reporter, now has several books under her belt, including a popular trilogy for children and a book on soldiers serving in WWI. However, her first big novel, A Theory of Strangeness, which was an overnight success, is the most difficult to define. So when I met up with Pavla to talk about her new book my first question was how she herself would define it. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/horakova_pavla_0.jpg?timestamp=1616592272 Pavla Horáková on her award-winning novel: I wrote the kind of book I myself would like to read https://english.radio.cz/pavla-horakova-her-award-winning-novel-i-wrote-kind-book-i-myself-would-read-8132213 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
