Vita nuova

"my lord was forever in a hurry somewhere forever somewhere else was forever imagined that somewhere else was happening at once at the same time just a sentence appeared for him and he descended on it and then he escaped and from that single sentence he becomes the ace he becomes the indoor track champion" Vita nuova is a continuation of Házimurik. The second volume of the autobiographical trilogy in which Hrabal makes his wife a narrator, Eliąka recounts. They are living in the early years of their marriage, their new life. In this period from 1955 to 1962, the writer has not yet published, the writer is just preparing: as a waste paper baler and then as a theatrical backstage - and as a consistent pub visitor throughout, he gathers experiences and gains experience among his artist friends. Consistently always somewhere else ... Hrabal is still talking about his most personal things. About how to become a writer in these very difficult years; how he struggles — primarily with himself, his own piety, with his anxieties — for the coveted goal of becoming an “ace,” “indoor track champion, and world champion” in literature. Tragicomic, passion and some self-irony on the ever-moving hrabali stage. Writer in skirt.
