Slovak Literature in English Translation

The short novel The Equestrienne, published by Divadlo bez domova in 2013 as Krasojazdkyňa, is a coming-of-age story of a young girl whose newly-discovered talent for trick-riding and lively imagination help her escape from the grim reality of life in a small town under communism and find friendship, but whose dreams are shattered by the advent of ruthless capitalism. The book was longlisted for the 2018 European Bank for Research and Development Literary Prize.
