Welcome

 

I am originally from the Czech Republic and have lived in the USA since 2003. I studied Russian language and literature at University of Texas at Austin and Charles University in Prague. I've been teaching world languages for about twenty years. My writings have been predominantly academic including the textbook "Reading Russian Short Stories" which is available here. I recently published my first work of literature, the memoire "Matylda: And I Thought Everyone Drives a Limo in Amerika". I currently live in Seattle, WA.
