In September 2012 I wrote and published a blog post about a Czech artist who had made a big impact on me as a child. You can read the post here. Just over ten years later, I received a message from Josef’s great granddaughter, Anežka, inviting me to get in touch if I wanted more information. I did so.

Quotes by Conrad Williams (?)

“You could be the ugliest, nastiest most miserable piece of shit known to man, but if you had a beating heart there was always a chance you'd turn into a diamond after a million years.”
― Conrad Williams, One

“He was a prisoner to the calendar, he realised, as we all were. He thought in little boxes that were to be ticked off and filled with things to do. Almost every day he thought back to what he had been doing ten years ago, twenty years ago, further. He lived in the past, by his diary. He was a history man, his head full of dead leaves. It was a form of reassurance, he knew. There were too many roads into the future and he didn't like not having a map for it.

("Wait")”
― Conrad Williams, Best New Horror 23
