Postcards from Absurdistan | Review

My review of Derek Sayer’s Postcards from Absurdistan, his wide-ranging yet highly uneven account of 20th century Czech culture and the political storms it went through, has been published on Transitions Online. The book covers some very interesting, lesser-known writers, artists and architects as they navigated their way, personally and artistically, through independence, fascism, communism […]

The House of Unrequited Love / Trafika

“…When I got off the plane and into the taxi all I had wanted to do was get to my hotel and into bed. Now all I cared about was out-imagining my adversary, just finding that one blank spot on the map. I had become that deranged explorer willing to sacrifice everything to find El […]

Her attempt at making an airplane resulted in a hat.” – from “Chinese Snow” by Miklós Vámos, translated from Hungarian by Ági Bori. Read more of the Spring […]

Zuska Kepplová in B O D Y

‘You’ll be much more at ease! You’ll be a more interesting person,’ she said about my recent breakup. For a few months I didn’t sleep well. Budapest might be the town with the most ambulances and fire trucks flying by. It must be the most unfortunate metropolis in Europe. Every single siren woke me up. […]

Gustáv Reuss in B O D Y

Many people think of the earliest science-fiction as being exclusively British and French, but in fact a couple books about to be published by Jantar Press show that this is far from true. The Science of the Stars by Gustáv Reuss and Newton’s Brain by Jakub Arbes are two early sci-fi books from Slovakia and […]

On Oct 13 from 2-3:30 pm (EST) there will be a reading and event devoted to Libuše Moníková’s novel Transfigured Night, a novel by the émigré Czech writer recently published by Karolinum Press. Whereas Kundera’s transition from Czech to French in his emigration has been much discussed and documented, the much lesser-known Moníková’s writing in […]
