As much an environmental treatise as protest literature, not to suggest that ecological causes aren't within the purview of protestation. Anyway, I enjoyed these poignant musings from a kindred soul.

It is part of Mr. Klima's undoubted skill as a writer (again one is reminded of Chekhov) to resist absolutely the kind of intellectual fireworks in which Mr. Kundera specializes. His writer's stance is that of the plain man doing a plain job, or trade, even if it is one that the state apparatus has arbitrarily found for him. The stories suggest that he has become a writer not by having a vocation but by finding himself writing: a humble do-it-yourself activity that can keep you sane in a mad world, especially a mad political world. Ironically, the state has inadvertently shown him how to behave like Voltaire's Candide, and to cultivate his garden. Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)
One of the last artistic expressions of life under communism, this novel captures the atmosphere in Prague between 1983 and 1987, where a dance could be broken up by the secret police, a traffic offence could lead to surveillance and where contraband books were the currency of the underworld.
