Toward the Radical Center: A Karel Capek Reader

Picked up a copy of this book in Prague and have been sampling from it for months. Capek had long been on my to-read list. I had known of his R.U.R. (in which the word 'robot' was coined), but I had no idea that he was such a versatile writer. He reminds me of Kafka...at times haunting and always illuminating. Unlike his fellow countryman however, Capek has a great amount of hope and humor. This seems to be a solid translation and a diverse anthology. ( )
