The launch of Jste to vy? (Is It You?), a memoir by the music, film, theatre and sports journalist and poet Jan Rejžek (1954), familiar to readers of many newspapers and magazines but also for radio and TV shows spanning more than 47 years. The book has a light and entertaining style that does not deny the chief characteristics of the Rejžek writing we know well: irony and self-irony, sarcasm, sharpness and unapologetic criticism, as well as humour, hyperbole and wit. The book is sure to annoy and upset many readers – naturally, it’s Rejžek after all – and will entertain and educate others about numerous details of Czech cultural and social life. In any case it will not leave anyone bored.
The author himself and invited guests, Petr Blažek, Radek Schovánek and Pavel Žáček, will present the memoir.
The duo of Jaroslav Olin Nejezchleba and Norbi Kovács will complete the launch.
