The Cowards (1958) is Josef Skvorecky's blackly comic tale of
post-war politics that was immediately banned on publication. In
1945, in Kostelec,Danny is playing saxophone for the best jazz band
in Czechoslovakia. Their trumpeter has just got out of a
concentration camp, their bass player is only allowed in the band
since he owns the bass, and the love of Danny's life is in love
with somebody else. But Danny despairs most about the bourgeoisie
patriots in his town playing at revolution in the face of the
approaching Red Army - not least because it ruins the band's chance
of any good gigs.
