Evening dedicated to Alexander Balogh’s biography of Ján Langoš, Strážca pamäti (Guardian of Memory). Michael Žantovský will chair a discussion with the author and Gabriela Langošová.

The book, which provides an informal portrait of Ján Langoš through the stories of his family, friends and acquaintances, is made up of two types of interconnected texts: the author’s interview with Langoš’s wife Gabriela and recorded encounters with 20 or so key people in Langoš’s life. The foreword has been penned by Martin M. Šimečka, while the book, which features a wealth of photographs, concludes with two monologue-style texts by Ján Langoš’s daughters.
