“Martin Vopenka is one of my favourite Czech writers because he is not Czech at all, like Milan Kundera. You can’t find one anecdote or joke in his works, he is not boasting about his sense of humour.
He is practically an off-geographical, modern writer for young people before their fourties, who realized that a real life is somewhere else.
His writings are careful and precise, they have nothing in common with Hrabal’s language orgies. He is a Czech writer by chance.
He could be British, too.”
Mariusz Szczygiel, Polish writer
