Biography
Jiří Klobouk writes fiction, radio plays, poetry and essays. He discovered jazz when he was twelve and later began to visualize the world around him through a camera lens - he worked for 20 years in television. These experiences are reflected in his writing. He created a body of work in which – as one critique noted: "We could feel the rhythm and see things from unexpected angles."
Many short stories have appeared in literary periodicals: Partisan Review, Chicago Review, Stories and Artful Dodge.
