Life
After graduating from high school in 1978, the daughter of literary critics Jiří Brabec and Zina Trochová (* 1924) could not study at the university for political reasons and therefore accepted a job as a librarian . Later she was no longer allowed to do this job either and first worked as an auxiliary nurse, from 1982 to 1988 as a cleaner in a hospital. Her novels were not allowed to appear in Czechoslovakia before 1989. After 1989 she became a lecturer . In 1987 she received the Jiří-Orten Prize for her first novel Daleko od stromu . In 2013 she received the Czech literary prize Magnesia Litera in the prose category for her novel Stropy . Brabcová was still able to complete her last novel, Voliéry. She was posthumously awarded the 2016 Josef Škvorecký Prize for this .
