Aus dem Klappentext
has temporarily abandoned his work-in-progress – an essay on Kafka – and exchanged his writer’s pen for the orange vest of a Prague road-sweeper. As he works, he meditates on Czechoslovakia, on Kafka, on life, on art and, obsessively, on his passionate and adulterous love affair with the sculptress Daria.<br><br><br><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i>

DESCRIPTION - From one of Czechoslovakia's most important writers - already a rising international star - a wonderfully evocative (and romantic) novel about life in Prague just before the Velvet Revolution. Unable to earn a living because his manuscripts are systematically suppressed by the state, a Czech artist joins a street-sweeping gang. Demeaning and endlessly repetitive, his job nevertheless has its compensations: the lively irreverence and eccentricity of his crew, and a strikingly new perspective from which to observe the underside of a society that denies him the right to follow his true calling. Harder to bear are his painful memories of the past - particularly the reliving of his passionate, doomed affair with Dana, a sculptor, and the agonizing but unavoidable choice between her and his wife. Drawing on the author's own experience as a banned writer in his native land, and told with humanity and wit, Love and Garbage is a novel of many facets: savage political satire, ardent love story, compelling meditation on the nature of freedom and guilt. It is a brilliant author's brilliant interweaving of the threads that attach every individual to the world through the grace of human contact; and it is, above all, a devastating evocation of the fate of the creative artist under an oppressive regime. Ivan Klima was born in 1931 in Prague, where he lives today. He was the editor of the journal of the Czech Writers' Union during the Prague Spring. In 1969 he was a visiting professor at the University of Michigan, but he returned to Czechoslovakia in 1970. He is the author of plays, stories and novels, all of which were published outside his own country, where his work was banned until recently. inventory #15307. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers z15307
