 Jan Kresadlo Obituary
Vaclav Pinkava, writer: born Prague 9 December 1926; married 1957 Eva Krizova (three sons, one daughter); died Colchester 13 August 1995.
Vaclav Pinkava's novels, published in the 1980s under the pen- name Jan Kresadlo, while Pinkava was living in exile in Britain, have already become classics of contemporary Czech literature.
Vaclav Pinkava's keen insight into human nature and folly, which renders mankind susceptible to the devastating influence of this or that ideology (usually communist), finds its expression in such apposite sarcasm and scathing satire that I have no hesitation in placing Jan Kresadlo somewhere between Jaroslav Hasek and Franz Kafka.
