Description
This volume of essays and journalistic writing by poet Stanislav Dvorský (1940–2020) is significant in several respects. It brings together texts from 1964 to 2019, presenting the complete body of Dvorský’s essays, previously unknown to the Czech literary public as a whole. In them, Dvorský emerges as a bold, precise and systematic writer whose thinking is continually refreshed by poetic vision and psychoanalytic insight. He is a penetrating interpreter of complex personalities and intricate systems of thought, an inspired commentator on works of art, a polemicist and a sarcastic commentator. Dvorský critically examines the legacy of Czech Surrealism and its central figures, including Karel Teige and Vratislav Effenberger. His essays form a dizzying and adventurous journey, allowing readers to explore the remarkable twists and meanders of human thought almost in real time. This demanding collection commands respect for its scope, erudition, documentary value and high stylistic and intellectual standards. The contents are in Czech.
