Description
Small Memory is a memoir written in a rush during the first coronavirus quarantine, composed in a fragmented manner, humorously recalling the events and personalities that led Bejamin Kuras to writing as a lifelong craft. In the book, you experience the comedy of Czech communism with the author, emigrate to London, broadcast in the Czech section of the BBC, enjoy the humorous antics of Hungarian colleagues, and embark on writing plays in English, following the personal advice of Anglo-Hungarian humorist George Mikés. You get an inside look at English theater, travel with it across Europe and Israel, and meet inspiring personalities everywhere, while observing its hesitant entries into post-communist Czechia and Czech literature, perceived not as a return home, but as a new gradual emigration to an unknown land.
