The latest rugby book from East Terrace editor James Stafford has been nominated for a prestigious literary award in the Czech Republic.
Ragby co-authored with art historian Petra Nováková (with contributions from writers and photographers around the world), has been placed on the shortlist at the Magnesia Litera awards. Published by Labyrint, the book is nominated in the ‘Outstanding Publishing Feat’ category.
A unique book of essays, photography, art and design, Ragby is the most significant and in depth book ever published on the sport in Czech. The book was also nominated for a national design award earlier this year.
The book has received plenty of coverage and praise across Czech media. James Stafford was interviewed (in English) on Radio Prague and by Reporter Magazine (in Czech). It is Stafford’s second book to be published in the Czech Republic after the Czech translation of his webcomic The Sorrowful Putto of Prague.
