Two Stories In English And Dutch (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
It's spring in Prague. Party leader Husak has just officially opened the first part of the new subway line. Prague is busy, at least in the center, in Wenceslas Square where troops put an end to the spring of 1968. Just like troops had put an end to another spring in 1849 in Budapest. I'm sitting here in the cafe of the Jalta Hotel and looking out over the Square, decorated with flags; all traffic has been stopped because of the new subway line. At two-thirty I have an appointment with someone; it is now one-thirty. As always, while I'm waiting I read. I read everywhere, in the tram, in the train, in waiting rooms, at airports, in court, during lunch and while I shave. I always have a paperback in my pocket, and any time I have to wait I open it to the page marked by the piece of scrap paper I use as a bookmark and read with complete concentration.
