We cordially invite you to read Flora, Jonáš Zbořil's novel about parenthood in the new wilderness, a no-man's land between railways, highways and nowheres. A young couple, Adam and Sara, find a strange creature made of electrical cables, plants and muscles, something between a thing and an animal, and decide to take care of it as if it were their own. Flora is E.T. for the Anthropocene era.
The reading is in the Czech language. Free entry, we look forward to seeing you.
