The Czech Socialist Literature That Influenced Milan Kundera

5 comments

I'm impressed that there are English-speaking people with such fine-grained knowledge of the Czech literary scene. They mention really obscure authors that I had to memorize for my end-of-school Czech exams which I felt were pointlessly in-depth.
- Think the writer may be Czech, and it indicates that the article was translated.
  But at least some of the books mentioned have been translated into English, and some of the authors are known in the Anglosphere, so a non-Czech speaker could develop familiarity that way & then go on to learn more.
  
  Ohh that would make sense
