Jiří Kratochvil started publishing his works as early as the late 1960’s, but for the next twenty years, he appeared in Samizdat only, as he was not allowed to publish officially. After the fall of the communist regime, he soon became one of the most translated contemporary Czech authors. Kratochvil is a leading figure in contemporary post-modernist Czech literature.
