A Czech Dreambook Vaculk Ludvk (2019)

In 1979, ten years into the crushing restoration of repressive communism known as normalization, Ludvk Vaculk suffers from writers block. Nearly a decade has passed since he wrote his last novel, and even longer since he wrote the 1968 manifesto Two Thousand Words, which the Soviet Union used as one of the pretexts for invading Czechoslovakia. On the advice of a friend, Vaculk begins keeping a diary: a book about things, people and events.
