The title My Golden Trades comes from a Czech proverb: "For him with nine trades, the tenth is poverty." The narrator of these stories, however, does not have the option of perfecting his trade as a writer. Forbidden to publish by his country's repressive government (like Klima himself), he must instead work a number of odd jobs to survive.
