Czech writer and journalist

Eva
Franková

A novelist drawn to moral, psychological, and existential borders: the moments when people decide to move them, cross them, or destroy them.

Eva Franková is a Czech journalist, publicist, and novelist. She studied Czech literature and creative writing at the Josef Škvorecký Literary Academy, where Michal Viewegh, Petr Šabach, and Jáchym Topol were among her principal teachers.

Her writing follows people at their limits. Step by step, she observes the erosion of principles, the gathering of courage, and the force required to carry both freedom and consequence.
