Reviews"[Klíma] brings a novelist's perspective to the proceedings, allowing readers to appreciate the depth and thematic complexity of Capek's writing. The result is a valuable introduction to one of the little-appreciated but significant figures of modern world literature." - Library Journal, "[Klma] brings a novelist's perspective to the proceedings, allowing readers to appreciate the depth and thematic complexity of Capek's writing.

SynopsisContemporary Czech novelist and playwright Ivan Klma has transformed his lifelong admiration for the work of the great Czech novelist and playwright Karel Capek into an extended personal essay on Capek's life and work. Written with letters and other material not available to earlier biographers and critics, Klma reflects on the effects of the author's personal relationships and scrutinizes his artistic and philosophical influences. This is not merely a biography or a critical work covering all of Capek's writings; it is a wide-ranging study of the life and work of a great artist as examined from the perspective of another eminent writer who grew up in Capek's shadow.
