My Prague Justin Quinn

Published: May 31, 2014, 12:01 a.m.

Poet, novelist and translator Justin Quinn has called Prague home since 1992. A professor of English at Charles University and the University of West Bohemia in Plze\u0148, the Irishman has lived in contrasting parts of the Czech capital, from Mal\xe1 Strana (which we\u2019ll visit later) to the concrete jungle of Ji\u017en\xed M\u011bsto. But our tour of Justin Quinn\u2019s Prague begins at another old \u2018hood of his, Nusle \u2013 specifically at the foot of the Nuselsk\xe9 schody, or Nusle Steps. Why there?
