Talk with Tibor Noé Kiss – “Gender: Incognito”
Talk with Tibor Noé Kiss – Gender: Incognito literary event 16 March at 8 p.m. Club Tiffany, Cultural Centre Q, ACC Metelkova mesto 1000 Ljubljana In English language Suzana Tratnik will discuss literature with Tibor Noé Kiss, whose debut novel Inkognitó (‘Incognito’) was published in 2010 and translated in Slovene language at ŠKUC Publishing, Lambda collection, in 2019. Kiss belongs to a younger generation of Hungarian prosaists and has sharply cut into Hungarian literature and society with her writing. Her first novel in which she openly discusses her transgender identity is not only a breathtaking form of self-expression but also an excellent literary work. She is convinced that the only stories worth writing are those that carry objective worth. For her the societal context is at least as important as the artistic. Suzana Tratnik shares the same view, as is evident in her comprehensive body of work.
Books from the Lambda collection, including the novel Incognito, will be sold at the event.
