I, Karel Gott and My Life in Exile

The Real Life of a Czech Emigrant, Not Just in the USA

George Suchánek's autobiographical book, 'Me, Karel Gott and My Life in Emigration', tells the story of a man who rose from an emigrant with nothing to a respected figure in the expatriate community in both New York and across the United States. He reminisces about working as Karel Gott's manager in the USA and Canada, the Czechoslovak community overseas, and building the Zlatá Praha restaurant. He captures life in emigration, business, friendships, and the atmosphere of the time openly, with perspective, and without embellishment, just as he experienced it himself.
