Three voices

Ivan Sviták: It is remarkable that the authors of such vulgarities are not only proud of their own stupidity and absence of culture but that they boost their scum to be of cultural value.

Rio Preisner: In this respect, I would define the Manichean pan-sexuality of Children of Paradise as being the passive antipoliticism of the (self)subjugated masses as opposed to the active antipoliticism of the enslaving nomenclature. Both stand in a mutually conditioning and complementing relationship.

Egon Bondy: Rio Preisner and maybe some others probably cannot read anything else than the parts about fucking in Pelc’s Children of Paradise. But those are truly not the essence of the text. (...) It is an artistically mastered testimony of such hard lines that all the Kerouacs, Ginsbergs, Burroughs and Bukowskis could hardly imagine.
