emil hakl
Emil Hakl was born in Prague in 1958. A graduate of the Jaroslav Jezek Conservatorium, he worked at
a number of manual-labor jobs under the communist regime. During this time he was writing poetry and
dramatizations of literature for amateur theater, and he was a founding member, along with
Vaclav Kahuda, of the writer's group Moderni analfabet [Modern Illiterates].
Having worked as a copywriter for an advertising agency in the 1990s, as the decade ended he decided to
devote himself to literature and has published a volume of poetry, three novels, and two collections of short stories since.
Over the last few years Hakl's work has begun to appear in translation throughout Europe. A collection of short stories
is forthcoming in the UK on Comma Press.
