For a translation into German, contact Natascha Drubek-Meyer and Holt Meyer
at the Slavic Department (Slavistische Fakultaet) of the University of
Potsdam, Germany. They specialize in modern Czech literature.

Sorry, I don't have a zip code or an email address for them, but Potsdam is
quite small and a letter should get there even with an incomplete address.

Tell them I suggested to you to contact them.

Greetings, Angelika Meyer
