Novelist Bohumil Hrabal was born in Brno, Czechoslovakia, and he
spent decades working at a variety of laboring jobs before turning
to writing in his late forties. From that point, he quickly made
his mark on the Czech literary scene; by the time of his death he
was ranked with Jaroslav Hasek, Karel Capek, and Milan Kundera as
among the nation's greatest twentieth-century writers. Hrabal's
fiction blends tragedy with humor and explores the anguish of
intellectuals and ordinary people alike from a slightly surreal
perspective. His work ranges from novels and poems to film scripts
and essays. Rambling On is a collection of stories set in Hrabal's
Kersko. Several of the stories were written before the 1968 Soviet
invasion of Prague but had to be reworked when they were rejected
by Communist censorship during the 1970s. This edition features the
original, uncensored versions of those stories.
