Czech this out.

Boggins, in massy company, will be in your area next August - provided your area is North-Eastern Bohemia. In a hintellectual hendeavour to ingratiate himself with the locals he has identified some authors with whose works he plans to become familiar.

  • Josef Skvorecky
  • Bohumil Hrabal
  • Ivan Klima
  • Karel Capek

Plenty there to get me going. Any suggestions or comments gladly received, as ever, apart from the usual one.
