Jiří Klobouk

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 in film and television. He created a body of work in which as one critique noted: “We could feel the rhythm and see things from unexpected angles.“

Klobouk’s short stories have appeared in literary periodicals: Partisan Review, Chicago Review, Artful Dodge and Skidrow Penthouse. For Winter Wolves, a story published in Mid-American Review, he was named outstanding writer in the 1985-86 Pushcart Prize edition.

His list of books includes: My Life with Blondie, Anti-Communist Manifesto(1975), Mostly Beethoven, Radio Plays I, Radio Plays II, Third Wife, JAZZ II:Parents, Music After Midnight and How High the Moon.
