Context

The announced guest is the writer’s daughter, Anna Fodorová. Publisher and radio presenter Joachim Dvořák will lead the discussion, accompanied by readings from books concerned with close relationships and the transfer of experience between generations. Admission is listed as free, although reservation is advisable.

What matters

Lenka Reinerová was born in 1916 and died in 2008. She wrote in German, and her life was shaped by exile, Nazi persecution and political pressure after the war. Personal recollection in her writing is therefore more than a private record; it preserves a Prague milieu that was disappearing.

Practical view

Visitors should confirm the current time and availability directly with the organiser. A discussion cannot replace reading the work itself, but it can provide orientation and show how a family engages with the public image of a well-known author.

Takeaway

The event opens the autumn season with a subject connecting Czech, Jewish and German-language memory. Meetings of this kind demonstrate why Prague literature cannot be understood through a single language or cultural layer.
