After 1959, when my novel The Cowards had been banned and I had lost my job as editor of Svetová literatura magazine, I published four novels (three detective novels and one childern's book) under the name of my friend Jan Zábrana, a poet and translator. We plotted the novels together, and then I wrote them.
