Selected as the 2021 Best Book, Virgin, Queen Dowager, bitch goes beyond traditional genre labels. Although the book is about mourning, about memories, on the other hand, it is also a record of empowerment. An anthropological analysis of the woman as wife and widow throughout history is presented. Debeljakov interweaves his personal experience with the stories of historical widows. At the same time, he confronts the taboos of death and widowhood with modern society.
The conversation with the author will be moderated by Mihaela Filak, Prof. English language.
You can listen to the literary conversation live in the lobby of the Semic Cultural Center and on the black man Library Channel .

Splošne knjižnice Dolenjske, Bele krajine in Posavja vas v četrtek, 31. marca, ob 18. uri vabimo na spletni literarni pogovor v živo z Erico Johnson Debeljak o njeni knjigi Devica, kraljica vdova, prasica.
Knjiga, ki je bila izbrana za Naj knjigo 2021, Devica, kraljica vdova, prasica presega tradicionalne žanrske oznake. Čeprav knjiga govori o žalovanju, o spominih, gre po drugi strani tudi za zapis o opolnomočenju. Predstavljena je antropološka analiza ženske kot žene in vdove skozi zgodovino. Svojo osebno izkušnjo Debeljakova preprede z zgodbami zgodovinskih vdov. Hkrati se sooči s tabuji smrti in vdovstva s sodobni družbi.
Pogovor z avtorico bo moderirala Mihaela Filak, prof. angleškega jezika.
Literarnemu pogovoru lahko prisluhnete v živo v avli Kulturnega centra Semič in na YouTube kanalu Knjižnica Črnomelj .
