About Jim

Author, Jim Freeman, essayist, writer of political commentary, occasional poet and novelist. A writer has to have a sense of humor to set up a personal web page based on his writing.

A thick skin as well.

I came to the Czech Republic in January of 1993, when it was still Czechoslovakia. Came to write, because it was cheap and beautiful, stayed because I fell in love with the quiet. And the beauty---it's an amazingly beautiful country.

Author of a companion blog.

So here it is, warts and all. Too much certainly to do more than sniff around, lift your leg on a poem here and an opinion there.

I hope you'll come back from time to time, see what's changed and perhaps e-mail me your thoughts. Unless this site becomes hugely more popular than I expect, I'll make the time to write you back.
