Arts Novelist Michal Viewegh: My popularity is a false image, but I'm not complaining
Michal Viewegh is one of the most popular and most translated Czech authors today. In his best known novel Bajecna leta pod psa " - The Wonderful Years of Lousy Living - the author satirically describes the grey times of the 1970's and 80's in communist Czechoslovakia when he was young. One of the reasons why his books are so popular is that the readers find there a piece of their own destiny. I met Michal Viewegh in a café of one of the biggest Prague bookstores and asked him whether he believes his books are equally appealing to readers abroad.
