Synopsis
American writer Philip Roth based his book in part on his actual experience of the 1970s when he visited Prague after the Soviet occupation in 1968 to help banned Czechoslovak writers. Despite political oppression, social life in Prague was extremely exuberant, full of fun and open relationships. The greater the pressure imposed by the regime, the more the people enclosed themselves in their own private intimate worlds. Our story captures the journey of the well-known American writer Nathan Zuckerman to Prague in 1976.
