The Cafe Irreal

Last updated

History and profile

Online since 1998, it has published a number of notable authors whose work sometimes fits into this non-realist genre, such as Charles Simic, Ignacio Padilla, Elaine Vilar Madruga, and Pavel Řezníček. It has published a number of authors in translation, especially from Spanish and (as it is partially based in Prague) from Czech. In this connection, translations that have originally appeared in The Cafe Irreal have been included in the Norton anthology Sudden Fiction Latino [1] and Litteraria Pragensia's The Return of Král Majáles: Prague's International Literary Renaissance 1990-2010. [2]

In 2008, the coeditors of The Cafe Irreal were nominated for a World Fantasy Special Award—Non-professional for their work on the journal, [3] and in that same year the journal was named one of the 25 best places to get published online by Writer's Digest magazine. [4]

According to the back cover blurb on its 15th anniversary print anthology (November 2013), the publication had published stories by more than 250 authors from over 30 different countries. [5]
