An interview with Martin Kanaloš, a Roma author, who grew up in a block of flats in Sokolov, while his classmates lived in houses with gardens. He had Vietnamese friends and is half Roma. Just like his hero in the book Me, Tran and Everything Else.

He also says that the way these people live is not a “Roma culture”, it’s a culture of poverty, referring to the Roma living in settlements.

• Jak ti lidé žijí, to není žádná „romská kultura“, to je kultura chudoby, říká spisovatel a historik umění. Chce nakopnout integraci.
