from Part III - Geographical Contexts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 July 2021
From 1972 to 1977, Roth regularly traveled to Prague in order to meet with writers silenced by the totalitarian Czech regime, trips that he briefly but poignantly describes in his remarks at the 2013 PEN Literary Gala. His relationships with artists in Prague also led to his work as general editor of the “Writers from the Other Europe” series, which featured work by Milan Kundera, Bruno Schulz, and others. Roth would send Nathan Zuckerman to Prague in 1985’s The Prague Orgy. With this in mind, this chapter will address the importance of the city in Roth’s own life, in his philosophies of artistic freedom, and in the development of his protagonists.
