From the supplier: Josef Skvorecky's novel 'Dvorak in Love' focuses on the village where Antonin Dvorak lived in the US instead of providing the expected fictional biography. This focus is intentional because the novel explores homesickness in emigres and how places similar to home can provide a release, however inadequate. The negative impact of homesickness on creativity is also addressed. The novel was inspired by Skvorecky's own reaction to Dvorak's US village because, just as it reminded Dvorak of Bohemia, the village reminded Skvorecky of Czechoslovakia.
