Testimonials
“At Rezidence Café Kaprál, I have moderated several evenings for the literary magazine Host and also launched my collection of stories Liliputin. My basic insight: People like going on visits. That is precisely how you feel at Rezidence Café Kaprál: that you are at someone’s house, that you are welcome, and that they do not want you to leave. I was surprised at how fast people, even from outside my circle, got used to going to this first-floor flat and at how often they returned. Book launches are special occasions, but even the regular evenings from Host and other programmes were full. At a time when new projects are often fighting for attention, requiring advertising and a campaign, Rezidence Café Kaprál filled a hole that I had known about for a long time: Brno did not have a single place that regularly held literary evenings. But it had so many people who love literature.”
Jan Němec, author and Editor in Chief of Host
