Voices from the Other Europe

Philip Roth is adding a new dimension to the American literary scene. He has launched his new series, Writers from the Other Europe, with two Czech works of fiction that have won international acclaim in English, German, and French translations but are virtually unknown in America. Not only there: the first volume of the series, Ludvik Vaculik’s The Guinea Pigs, despite its author’s great popularity, has never been published in his homeland.
