Post-Socialist Narratives with Tatiana Țîbuleac and Ena Katarina Haler

Mila was an academic in Moldova; in Paris, she is wanted at best as a housecleaner. Iris returns to her Yugoslav home village, where she navigates her youth on deserted streets, amid the rubble of war. In their novels, Tatiana Țîbuleac and Ena Katarina Haler write about post-socialist, ravaged spaces and about the women who fight to carve out an existence of their own within them. A conversation about radical autonomy.

In cooperation with TRADUKI.
