'Self-exiled' writer talks history, politics and poetry

If any comments I make offened; I appologise. In general I am a shy insignificant imperfect individual. My achievements in life are below average, my moral and ethical history rates poorly. However; if I can do anything to help you I will make the effort to do so.
Regarding happiness; I cant comment; having survived what I have in life; I have learnt to be grateful to have the ability to express an opinion. I ensure my comments are edited by others, because I recognise that I make mistakes, that on bad hair days Im as bad an arsehole as anybody. I appologise to readers, this has no place in the comments page; but at least iv'e got it of my tits. 'Nurse..wheres my polevka....

Did you really made a soup?Or was it maybe a stew?How do you know that you are happy?
Perhaps you just pretend that you are happy so nobody will think that you had no meat to eat.
It is probably that you are confused about things.I surely am not.If I compare myself to yourself there is not any doubt who would win.It's me because I am better educated.Etc,etc,etc.

Get it?

I'm so happy I made soup and ate it today.

The divorce from 'place of origin' has a long tradition in literature. Like a lover refusing to indulge in tawdry local affairs. Asking people to look at Czech totalitarianism from a distance; exile; seems a cop out.
Genetic origin; Boii, to Slavic 'transgression; tribal art was the first casualty, the Czech mutation from its origins reached its apex with Communism. From here on in; it wotuld be nice to think the Cezch soul could come home; to Boii. Rather than put downs; lets hold up true Boii and keep artistic purity.

What an irrelevant interview with a person who lost his sense of belonging while still claiming right to criticize others.This interview is a collection of incredibly contradictory opinions-hardly based on any true fact.

Mr. Grusa should include in his list of Czech "characteristics" the penchant for pointless polemics for their own sake -of which he is prime perpetrator based on this interview.

In other comment above,regarding "His Serenity Highness Prince" Franz Ulrich Kinsky-I believe this sacharine fuelled diatribe would be better suited to the 19th or even 18th century.Enough said!!

His Serenity Highness Prince (Reich Fürst) Franz Ulrich Kinský von Wchinitz und Tettau, had passed away in Buenos Aires on April 2nd 2009, he was survived by his widow Princess Lena Kinský, née countess Hutten-Czapska his son count Karl Kinský von Wchinitz und Tettau, from now on the Head of the family and the new Prince Kinský, his daughter in law Dolores Beccar Varela (from one of the oldest patrician families from Buenos Aires) and his three grandchildren. His struggles against the Czech authorities (hated by the so Czech Vaclav Klaus (completely a German name), which had just one goal the recover of most properties confiscated by Edvard Beneš Government blaming his family as traitors to the then Czechoslovak State and supporting the Nazi occupation, which was not true at all. Born in the family palace in Vienna, he was a small boy at the time; he always felt that he was completely Czech like his ancestors but faithful to the House of Habsburg. His father Prince Ulrich Ferdinand Kinský in spite of all the chitchats in Prague, finished his days at the Bristol Hotel in Vienna, when he was trying to recover his own palace occupied by the SS, after the Anschluss of Austria to the German Reich, perhaps murdered by the Gestapo. His mother Princess Kinský born Baroness Mathilde von dem Bussche (member of a well known anti Nazi family, with a several members of her family murdered after the plot on July 20th in 1944) left the occupied country on December 12, 1939 and travelled to Argentina, where both arrived in the Italian Steamship "Conte Grande", immediately the Nazi authorities outlawed Princess Kinský. His grandmother Mathilde Martinez de Hoz, Countess von Luxburg was a wealthy Argentine citizen. He died on April 2, 2009 after a short decease, and his burial took place in Buenos Aires, some 300 hundred people gathered at the cemetery, many of them members of the Austrian, Hungarian, Bohemian, German, French, Italian, Polish nobilities living in Argentina like lots of his Argentine friends. Several masses will be held in his memory, in Buenos Aires on May 6th at the Church of Mater Admirabilis, in Vienna will be held at the Schottenkirche on May 5th at 16.00 and the Mass in Prague will be at the Malteser Church on May 6th at 18.00, with the presence of family, relatives, friends and members of the Imperial and Royal House of Habsburg-Lorrain. The late prince Kinský was another victim of persecution by Vaclav Klaus' government with its communists allies, which they even forged documents to "proved" that Franz Ulrich was included in the decrees confiscating his properties when he was 9 years old, which at the end a court recognized that were fake documents, but a special bill had been passed by the Parliament with just one goal, to stop more legal proceedings against the Czech state, according with the rule of law all what was done by the current authorities was against the European Convention of Human rights, which protects the right to claim property confiscated illegally like this case, and an open case of persecution and discrimination to the late Prince Franz Ulrich Kinský von Wchinitz un Tettau, his son Karl will continue the struggle in all instances. If the Czech government wants to continue as member of the EU has to respect not only a simple sense of justice, but the rule of law and international treaties, which abide them to fulfil all their clauses, including the non discrimination clause, another case of discrimination.

So many dropped followup questions in this exchange: surely there was more to the interview than what seems only outline?

Best thing Iv'e read all week.
