Jiří Gruša and the PEN International
Abstract:
From 2004 to 2009, the Czech author, diplomat, and translator Jiří Gruša served
as President of the PEN International. The basic material on which this article
draws is his complete personal collection housed in the Anti-Totalitarian Cultural
History Department (Oddělení dějin kultury antitotalitního zaměření – ODKAZ) in
the Moravian Museum in Brno, which includes materials on his time as President
of the PEN International. This article maps Gruša’s professional development
and, based on his personal experiences with literary and translation activity,
with censorship, with imprisonment, and with being forcibly expelled from his
native country, as well as on his many years of diplomatic service, points out
what was certainly his beneficial, important, initial potential for performing as
President of the PEN International, which defends freedom of speech for writers
all over the world.
