Marek Torčík (1993) is a poet, novelist, and journalist from Přerov, now based in Prague. His poetry collection Rhizomy was published in 2016, and he was a finalist in the Czech-Slovak competition Básne SK/CZ twice. Memory Burn (2023), his debut novel, has received critical acclaim as it was awarded the Magnesia Litera, Best Novel (2024), the Jiří Orten Prize (2024) and the Susanna Roth Award (2024). The rights have been sold in 27 languages. Irma Pieper’s translation of Marek’s debut novel, in Dutch Brandend geheugen, will be published this year at De Arbeiderspers.
