Michal Šanda (born December 10, 1965 in Prague) is a Czech writer and poet.
Life
After secondary school, he made his living in a series of jobs that included stonemasonry, bookselling, street vending, fowling and organ-grinding, as well as making fans on an ostrich farm and painting railway cars. Since 1991, he has worked as an archivist at the Arts and Theatre Institute in Prague where he lives.
Although he started off as a poet, Michal Šanda is today regarded as a postmodern author because every book he writes explores a different genre and style.
