28. 1. 2026

Everything will be cool (Všechno bude super): The new novel by Eli Beneš has been selected for the 2026 Susanna Roth Award—an annual competition in which young emerging translators work on a piece of contemporary Czech prose.
Established in 2014, the award is named after the renowned Swiss translator Susanna Roth (1950–1997), who played a key role in promoting contemporary Czech literature abroad. Since 2017, the Czech Centres abroad have co‑organised the competition together with the Czech Literary Center, part of the Moravian Library.
