Description
An expanded and revised edition of essays by a leading Czech poet. The author is known and valued primarily as an original and exceptionally unique poet in the Czech context. However, somewhat overshadowed by his original work is his equally remarkable body of essayistic work. The book presents a comprehensive collection of Topinka's metaliterary texts, from extensive essays published mainly in the 1960s in Sešity for Literature and Discussion and Orientace, to reflections from the 1990s and texts from the following decades. Some of the newly included texts are published for the first time. Thus, we get to know the poet not only as an unorthodox, engaged thinker but also as a personality who opens up the work of related authors, writers, or artists in a fresh way. The book is a significantly expanded edition of the same-named, long-unavailable edition from 2007.
