Pavao Pavličić is one of the most highly regarded contemporary Croatian writers. His Dixieland– which follows the fates of eight members of an occasional band in Vukovar until a tragic finale in 1991 – is the most noteworthy Croatian novel of the 1990s. In terms of its importance it bears comparison to such works as Günter Grass’s The Tin Drumand The Lost Stepsby Alej Carpentier.

The author will be present for this presentation of the Czech edition of the novel, while it will be discussed by the literary critics Julijana Matanović and Jan M. Heller and the translator Jan Doležal.

Organised by the Václav Havel Library in cooperation with the Runa publishing house and under the auspices of the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia.

Interpretation into Czech provided.
