A classic of childhood in 1970s Czechoslovakia now out in English

One of the most popular Czech writers of the last two decades has been
Irena Dousková. Her short novel Hrdý Budžes has become a classic, with
its touching and humorous portrayal of childhood in 1970s communist
Czechoslovakia. Now the book is available in English translation, thanks to
Melvyn Clarke, who talks to David Vaughan about the book and his work
translating and promoting Czech writing today.
