Monday, June 16th 2025 | Knihkavárna Martinus

An author discussion was held at the Martinus book café, offering a look into safe spaces through literature.

The guests were:

• Ivo Skopal, author of the books Uprooting and Constellation of the Elephant
• Ella Fever, finalist for the award for best book of 2022 and author of sensitive queer stories about relationships, dreams and neurodivergence

The conversation was led by Adam Šimek, a queer therapist and educator, who created a safe and respectful space for both authors to share. During the evening, topics such as anger, tenderness, writing as a form of therapy, but also as a way to name the world around us - and transform it.

A big thank you goes to the Martinus book café, which joined the collaboration as a partner place and created an atmosphere where new questions and understanding could arise.
