The 70-year-old has devoted a huge amount of attention – in a novel and other forms – to the dramatic story of the Mašín brothers group, as well as co-writing movie director Miloš Forman’s autobiography and investigating the public image constructed by novelist Milan Kundera. He has also translated plays by Václav Havel, while other works of his have drawn on sometimes eye-popping stories from his own family history. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/f579e3a567450ac9bc9cb68dfefd839f.jpg?timestamp=1702457361 Jan Novák on Forman, Havel, the Mašíns, Kundera – and his own great stories https://english.radio.cz/jan-novak-forman-havel-masins-kundera-and-his-own-great-stories-8803734 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
