The Bass Saxophone.

Pan Books, London: 1980. Softcover. reading copy. These two novellas by the distinguished Czech exile evoke with poignant irony and dark fantasy the everyday nature of life under totalitarianism, whether Nazi or Soviet. They are a celebration of the beleaguered individual's resistance against drab uniformity and spiritual meanness. The author introduces the two stories with a brilliant and moving personal memoir of jazz, for him and for other Czechs a persistent and enduring voice of freedom under two tyrannies: The police guns of all dictatorships are aimed at the men with the horns.
