Camilla Grudova & Jennifer Hodgson: Ágota Kristóf’s ‘I Don’t Care’
Jennifer Hodgson, a literary scholar who maps Ágota Kristóf in modernist letters, and Camilla Grudova, a Canadian writer of surreal fiction, explore Kristóf’s exile, her choice to write in French, and the dark, fairytale-like motifs in her newly translated short stories. They read passages, discuss factory work’s impact, and trace themes of estrangement, death, and grotesque imagery.
