Do not miss this unique work of Raymond Carver, a short story master and one of the greatest writers of American literature in the 80s of the last century! Performed by Jiri Labus with piano accompaniment by Emil Viklicky, you will find a great combination of excellent acting and virtuoso jazz improvisation!

Background of the author:

Raymond Carver (1938–1988) worked at a sawmill while editing a literary magazine. He wrote stories included in anthologies of best American stories of the year while selling cinema playbills in Hollywood. He won prestigious literary prizes but was dismissed from his job. An expert on and admirer of Chekhov, Flaubert and many other European artists, Carver was four times hospitalized because of his acute alcoholism. A master of short prose, he considered himself first and foremost a poet. He remains the most important American writer of the 1980s.

Performers: Emil Viklicky and Jirí Lábus
