	Skvorecky
		Skvorecky made this part of European history come alive to me, and I can truthfully say that by reading his novels I gained a better insight into this period than I could from any other source.
		I know now that Michaela Swinkels is yet another of Skvorecky's readers with whom he keeps in touch and it feels like I've become related to her "by literature".
		As a boy, Skvorecky learnt English all by himself, not to impress his teachers, but to be able to write a fan letter to his idol Judy Garland.

		Josef Skvorecky was mostly influenced by the Anglo-Saxon culture but in addition to that, has a sort of nostalgia for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the first Czechoslovak Republic.

	Amazon.com: Dvorak in Love: Books: Josef Skvorecky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		In an elliptical style familiar to readers of his previous books, Skvorecky builds a polyphonic account of the famous composer's two trips to the United States in the 1890s, orchestrated by the sharply individual voices of various Americans who met him.
		Antonin Dvorak's stay in New York and Spillville, Iowa, in the 1890s is the focus of this biographical novel by Skvorecky, the author of the acclaimed Engineer of Human Souls (LJ 7/84).
		Dvorak himself is glimpsed only from the outside, by those around him, and it is not necessary to know more about him than that he was a great musician in order to enjoy -- and be moved by -- this comic novel.

		Dalkey Archive Press: An Interview with Josef Skvorecky
		JOSEF SKVORECKY: It's a historical novel, set during the American Civil War, and deals with a group of Czech soldiers serving in General Sherman's army in the campaign in Georgia and the Carolinas until the final victory at the Battle of Bentonville.
		As far as I know, and I did a great deal of research for the novel, this story about Czech-American soldiers has never been told.
