I vaguely remember Karel Capek

I vaguely remember Karel Capek as the author of a dystopian novel that at one time was lumped together with 1984 and Brave New World as a classic of the genre. Today’s Sunday New York Times Book Review has an interesting review of the first-ever biography of Capek with news of a related publishing project devoted to bringing his work out in English: “A Literary Comeback for Karel Capek.”
