In 1966, after 18 years of prohibition, Jedlička was allowed to publish an experimental novel "Kde život náš je v půli se svou poutí" ("Midway Upon the Journey of Our Life"), written in the early 1950s; parts of this book were censored in this edition by the communist censors, the complete version would be published in 1994 after the fall of communist regime in Czechoslovakia. Nevertheless the book, with parts censored, caused scandal and was said to be antisocialist and once again Jedlička was prohibited from publishing. Only in 1968, was Jedlička allowed to publish few essays about Kafka and Chaadaev in literature magazines. After the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in August 1968, Jedlička was exiled to West Germany. He eventually lived in Munich, where he worked as editor and commentator for Radio Free Europe during the 1970s and 1980s.
