We talked with the author of “Interrupted Show”, published this year by Skarpa Warszawska, among others. about its beginnings. The writer began with a competition “for a novel for women”. Today, we refer to such books as “common literature”.
Małgorzata Rogala on women’s literature: Women get angry at such a term
Małgorzata Rogala talks about the division into women’s literature:
They used to be harlequins in general, you could buy them in kiosks, and I read them too as a person in my twenties, but it’s also so annoying sometimes – and I know that I’m not alone in the fact that women get mad at such a term, because this women’s literature, so what exactly? Is it written by a woman, is the audience supposed to be women, or is it about the subject that the heroine is a woman?
I write detective stories and I always have a woman or women as the main character – says the writer about “women’s prose” and adds:
I think we’re moving away from that right? Because, after all, women read different literature and we will not share it after all.
You can watch the whole conversation in the video below and listen to it on the Publio podcast “Read well, listen well”, available on streaming platforms.
We also talked about about what she likes to read (she recommends specific titles and authors!), and about how they support each other with other Polish writers today.
