In this episode, we journey into the literary world of Aka Morchiladze, one of Georgia’s most influential modern authors. Known for his ability to blend history, memory, and identity, Morchiladze’s novels capture the complexities of post-Soviet Georgia and the challenges faced by its people. His celebrated works, like Journey to Karabakh and Santa Esperanza, delve into themes of exile, dislocation, and the search for belonging—often against the backdrop of shifting borders and cultural tensions.
We’ll explore how Morchiladze combines elements of Georgian folklore with contemporary storytelling, crafting tales that resonate with both Georgian readers and international audiences. His characters, often torn between past and present, reflect the struggles and resilience of a country in transition. Join us as we uncover the rich textures of Morchiladze’s stories, his impact on Georgian literature, and why he’s celebrated as a pioneer in capturing the spirit of a changing nation.
