Emma Kausc’s debut novel, Plot Disruption, examines memory, desire and the act of storytelling against the backdrop of the autofictional narrator’s relationships. Emma, a woman in her thirties, has recently buried her mother and is contending with the mysterious disappearance of her girlfriend, a photographer named Alyona. As she moves between Prague, London and Los Angeles, she searches for a place to stand between intellectual reflection and intuition, love and loss, presence and absence. In this critically acclaimed novel, Kausc poses a series of crucial questions that resist definitive answers, allowing uncertainty itself to become part of the narrative. It is this, together with the book’s refined and assured style, that establishes Emma Kausc as a major new voice in contemporary Czech literature.
