Hey LTC Hrabal is great-I got into a lot of Czech writers when I used to go out with a girl from Prague. The Czechs have a sense of humour which is similar to us British people, so you can kind of relate to it. I love Philip K Dick as well-what an amazing guy he was. Very dark and tortured. I managed to get through his semi-autobiographical book 'Valis' which blew my mind completely! The guy is a genius
Any suggestions for other similar Czech authors to look into? I can't think of any others apart from Kafka! I'm off to Prague in July and reading Hrabal has made me extra excited.
