Book Description

January 1998
The celebrated author of THE BASS SAXOPHONE, THE REPUBLIC OF WHORES, and THE BRIDE OF TEXAS, Josef Skvorecky has won international acclaim for the acerbic, funny, and haunting novels of his native Czechoslovakia--the wry world of political repression that shaped him as a writer. Once more, he sharpens his mordant wit on familiar themes in the interconnecting tales of THE TENOR SAXOPHONIST'S STORY, now available in paperback .

4.0 out of 5 stars A Tenor Saxophonist's review of a Tenor Saxophonist's Story, June 12, 2003
This review is from: The Tenor Saxophonist's Story (Paperback)
Skvorecky is a master of understatement, speaking volumes in this thin book of ten glimpses into the lives of artists, socielites and politicos living under a totalitarian regime in Czechoslovakia.
