He wanted to be a Praguer among Praguers, to share everyday life with them. Scarcity rules - from toilet paper to morals. Unlike many of his generation, he does not believe that socialism can be reformed. He meets hosts who lay out oyster spoons, even though there have been no oysters for decades in Prague, a city that his girlfriend Jarka claims only dogs can live well and decently in. Richard Swartz tells of human closeness and great affection, but also of hardship and lies in a dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p><em>Richard Swartz: AUSTERN in PRAGUE.
