Jim Freeman CV
 After
a successful career in landscape architecture, Jim came to the Czech
Republic in January, 1993 to write. Actually, at that time, it was
still Czechoslovakia.
Author of 3 novels, a non-fiction book, over 400 poems
and 700 political articles, writing comes as easily to him as breathing.
Jim actively participates in English literary evenings in Prague
and for several years
hosted the
BeefStew
Readings.
His political and social commentary appears occasionally
in The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, International Herald-Tribune,
CNN, The
New York
Review, Op-Ed News, and various magazines. Jim is the
Middle European correspondent for the Progressive Populist and is
currently
working on a second non-fiction book.
He resides with his Czech wife in Prague and
has long-term Czech residency, a pretty decent beard and a lot of
attitude.
