Welcome to "Czech Books", our new fortnightly series devoted to Czech writing and writers. In a series of interviews over the next few weeks the writer and musician Pavla Jonssonova, well known from the popular band Zuby Nehty, will be talking to a number of Czechs writing today. She starts with one of the most interesting contemporary Czech novelists, Iva Pekarkova, whose books are filled with energy, eroticism and heroines who are not afraid to take their fate into their own hands. Her first novel appeared in English as "Truck Stop Rainbows"
