Beskrivelse
Vita Nuova is the second in a trilogy of memoirs written from the perspective
of Bohumil Hrabal's wife, Elis.ka, about their life in Prague
from the 1950s to the 1970s, when Communist repression of artists was
at its peak.
Hrabal's inimitable humor, which in Elis.ka's ruminations ranges
from bawdy slapstick to cutting irony, is all the more penetrating for
being directed at himself. Vita Nuova showcases Hrabal's legendary
bohemian intellectual life, particularly his relationship with Vladim r
Boudn k. Hrabal creates a shrewd, lively portrait of Eastern European
intellectual life in the mid-twentieth century.
