A New York Times Notable Book: A Czech filmmaker survives Communism with dreams of artistic freedom in this “darkly powerful novel” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Pavel Fukova was once a promising, award-winning documentary filmmaker. But when his homeland is overtaken by a Communist regime, he is forced to survive by working as a cameraman for the state-run television station. Now middle-aged, he dreams of one day making a film — a searing portrait of his times that the authorities would never allow.

When the communist regime collapses, Pavel is unprepared for the new world of supposedly unlimited freedom—and unable to make the film he has always wanted to make. Waiting for the Dark, Waiting for the Light is a powerful, important novel about the struggle between the ideal and the temptations of freedom.
