Life

After secondary school, he made his living in a series of jobs that included stonemasonry, bookselling, street vending, fowling and organ-grinding, as well as making fans on an ostrich farm and painting railway cars.[citation needed] Since 1991, he has worked as an archivist at the Arts and Theatre Institute in Prague where he lives.[1]

Although he started off as a poet, Michal Šanda is today regarded as a postmodern author because every book he writes explores a different genre and style.[2]
