Miloš Doležal: There's no one here but me
Miloš Doležal: There is no one here but me Thursday 9 October at 6 pm Miloš Doležal (1970) is a leading Czech poet, writer and publicist. His book about the martyred parish priest Josef Toufar won the Book of the Year award in the prestigious Lidové noviny poll in 2012, and his poetry collection Jana bude soon sbírat lipový kvě, in which he emotionally deals with the untimely death of his wife, won the Magnesia litera Book of the Year a few years ago. Doležal's journalistic activity is very rich, and in a somewhat simplistic way it can be said that he mostly deals with the fates of unassuming heroes, martyrs and people connected with his native Highlands. Almost all of this is true of his book There's Nobody Here but Me, in which he tells ten stories of people and places of Jewish origin. The Highlands are again a small stage, but the stories he pulls from the depths of the 20th century transcend the places where they took place in their meaning and message. What motivated Miloš Doležal to write these stories, what discoveries awaited him on his journey to find the chosen heroes and much more should be revealed in the discussion that Martin Reiner will lead with the well-known writer.
