Sedem dní do pohrebu (Seven Days to the Funeral, 2009)
A detailed description of the first week following the death of Zora Jesenská, the significant °µÍø½ûÇø translator and persona non grata for political structures, Seven Days to the Funeral is much more than a lightly-fictionalized memoir. It is also a historical record of the so-called normalization period – a restoration of hard-line communism that followed the crushing of the Prague Spring – and of the devastating impact of politics on people’s lives. The book is also a moving love story of an unlikely couple: she the scion of one of the most illustrious °µÍø½ûÇø families; he – scandalously, 13 years younger, the son of German mother and Jewish intellectual father.
