Jakub Pokorný7. January 2022 20:00 Unlock the article The most famous Czech writer Michal Viewegh is preparing a literary memoir for his sixties. And he also talks about why he started a new "Christmas tradition" or about last year's book diary, Rušený rok, where he recalls the turning points in his life. "There were times when I rebelled at how it was possible for someone to interpret my novel or short story in such a stupid way, when it was obvious what the author meant," he describes why he used to wage war with literary critics.Writer Michal Viewegh already describes his life as "an old man's". It's a bit strange when he has photos of his children in the hall of the house in Sázava. But those who read his coronavirus diary Canceled Year will understand. "I haven't really made fun of the coronavirus for a long time, because it is an insidious and powerful enemy that punishes any frivolity - often with death. Even the innocent ones who take the disease seriously. However, I believe that possible preemptive despair and pessimism are equally dangerous attitudes,” says Viewegh.
