Terry ~ Huntress of Erudition asked Rick Pryll:

Hi Rick, Is your book, The Chimera of Prague, somewhat autobiographical? I am enjoying the journal entries. Thanks, Terry

Rick Pryll Hi Terry,

Thanks for your question. I lived in Prague for seven years, and while there are some similarities between myself and my main character, Joseph, the book is fiction.

I have heard from readers who lived in Prague in the late nineties that the book accurately reflects the feeling of that era. But to achieve that effect, I had to distance myself from my actual experience, and let the characters take over.

Rick
