Anna Luňáková's poetic debut Jen ztratím jméno contains two larger pieces. Formally, they straddle the line between the tape - with its free associations, it espouses the poetics of surrealism - and the poetic narrative, known in France as ‘dites’. The book is a manifesto and a confession, it is both tender and provocative. It speaks, listens and answers...

André Gorz: Dopis pro D.

Translation
2021

Malvern

The letter by André Gorz, a philosopher of Czech-Austrian origin, is not only a declaration of love but also a recapitulation of the author's political and ecological thinking. In it, Gorz looks at the ways in which philosophical thinking distanced him from what was truly essential: living together with the person he loved. Uneasy, fragile and honest. In his text, Gorz interrogates the relationship between philosophy and the love of partnership and also touches on the idea of love in general. In place of tragic unfulfillment, we read the life story of two people who managed to live together for almost sixty years without the source of their love being exhausted.

Pandezie

As curator and editor of poetry anthology
2021

Pandezie is a testimony of Czech poets and poetesses that reflects on the pandemic, but also how it has entered our everyday life. The texts selected for the anthology by the poet and philosopher Anna Luňáková are in dialogue with each other, they harmonise, contradict or confirm each other. Her aim was to create a time capsule that recorded the constant transformations of the present in times of pandemic. The anthology was realised together with the editorial collective of the revue Prostor in the midst of an ongoing epidemic, despite the difficulties of the time and the subject. The work juxtaposes struggle with solitude, the act of writing with pain, humor with sadness, and irony with seriousness. If the muses are silent in war, what are they likely to whisper to us during a global pandemic?

The experimental novel Three! develops the experience of a therapeutic session in which autobiographical motifs are interwoven with language play, and in which the narrator deliberately enters to reinvent herself.
