Better 'here it is!' than 'where is it?'

It seems to me that if they beat someone for asking questions, it should at least be his most personal question - especially if he is a writer. If a writer asks in the name of Europe or his country or the people, in whose name should the politician ask? But then what should a writer do, when the politicians have long ago stopped asking questions and take care only that they may rule without interruption, regardless of how harmful their rule may be?
The engine driver's story, Ivan Klima, 1992.
Kaczyńsky, Tusk, Lepper, Giertych. Are you listening?
