Description: "Bohumil Hrabal was born 1914 in Brno, Moravia. At the beginning of 1989, after a long literary silence, Hrabal again began to write regularly - this time short individual texts. He considered these his "lyrical reportage" and gave them the form of letters addressed to Dubenka (April Gifford), the muse of his later years. In these letters, spanning the period from 1989 to 1992, Hrabal provides something akin to memoir in a humorous and often moving tumult of free association. He died in 1997 in Prague."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: "These texts, prefaced by 'The Magic Flute', form part of the longer series of Dopisy Dubence (Letters to Dubenka)"--p. 203.
