Jan Balabán was aCzech writer, journalist and translator, living and working, until his sudden death in the year 2010, in Ostrava. His most important work is acollection of short stories It May Be That We Go, which was called Book of the Year 2004 by Lidove Noviny and the Magna Litera 2005 for prose, and was nominated for the State Prize for Literature 2004. Another of his works is the collection of stories titled Holiday. His books are very interesting to the reader, and they deal with profound themes. The author testifies about the way we live, and he often discusses loneliness, which is the default situation in his books. Characters in his works are regular people dealing with regular issues, like poverty, tragedies, loneliness or bankruptcy. Balabán’s books are mostly about people with no roots: alcoholics, intellectuals, parents and their children, people who love and who leave each other.
