Bohumil Hrabal's "Too Loud a Solitude" with Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Karen Feldman, Robert Harrison

The night was chill and rainy, but the crowd was intimate and eager to discuss Bohumil Hrabal‘s Too Long a Solitude on Feb. 6, 2017.
The dystopian novella, first published in samizdat in 1976, is a Czech classic. Acclaimed author Robert Pogue Harrison moderated the discussion. The Stanford professor who is Another Look’s director writes regularly for "The New York Review of Books" and hosts the popular talk show, "Entitled Opinions." He was joined by Stanford Prof. Hans Ulrich “Sepp” Gumbrecht, a prominent European public intellectual and a prolific author, and German Prof. Karen Feldman of the University of California, Berkeley, whose research explores the nexus between literature and philosophy.
