Novelist, playwright, screenplay writer and musician, Rudiš is a man of many talents, and in recent years he has acquired something of a cult following on the Czech literary scene. If you want to know a bit more about Jaroslav, a good place to start is with his Facebook or MySpace profile: there you’ll find out that he’s straight, going on 37, he likes Milan Kundera, Walter Benjamin, The Cure, his favourite make of car is Saab, and so on and so on. But how much does this tell us about what Jaroslav Rudiš is really like? When I met him to talk about his recent work, I began by asking him if there was anything important he had left out in his Facebook and MySpace profiles. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/4f5197446b1f6808606b2a0aab5e5a67.png?timestamp=1583150525 https://english.radio.cz/jaroslav-rudis-craving-noise-and-silence-8586675 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
