Životopis

a Czech writer, interpreter and translator, born on 14 September, 1972, in Pardubice and is living in Italy. She worked as a legal interpreter and a conference interpreter. Hušková began her literary work with publications of some language manuals, then wrote three novels in Italian. One of them, Imperfette Sintonie [Imperfect Harmonies], based on a famous football case, was published by Bonfirraro. Her latest book, Ike, is written in Czech. It is a humorous memoir about her disastrous life in Italy, as seen through the eyes of a cane corso (an Italian breed of large dog). It was immediately bought by a Czech Publisher (Prah) .
She has twin children and Ike (Eisenhower), a six -year-old Cane Corso, who, at 120 pounds, is her third “baby.”
Through amusing descriptions of the protagonist’s sentimental misadventures and the antics of her household pets, the author highlights how the good things in life – such as love for our children and pets – can become our sheet anchor.

Audience Lovers of humour Fans of dogs and other pets Women of all ages, who may see the author as a sort of “heroine” with whom they can identify. They might even concede that living in Italy is not always a bed of roses!

What they say about Ike... “A refreshing book you’ll read with a permanent smile on your face”. Ike’s perception of the world of humans, and particularly of his adoptive Mummy’s, informs this humorous tale of people’s sometimes less-than-brilliant or downright miserable existential ups and downs. An account of life in Italy, of the Country itself, and of the character of its inhabitants. Like a cocktail of sparkling thoughts and events, the narrative is guaranteed to provide readers with genuine entertainment. A humour reminiscent of Stephen Clark’s delightfully funny A Year in the Merde. The writer has an enormous gift – her ability to take a detached, “bird’s eye” view, not only of others and of sensitive situations in general, but above all of herself. And this is extremely rare.” Anna Novotná (editor at Práh publishing company) (zdroj životopisu: wikipedia)
