Arthur Miller, in his "Foreword" to Toward the Radical Center: A Karel Capek Reader (1990) edited by Peter Kussi
“
I read Karel Čapek for the first time when I was a college student long ago in the Thirties. There was no writer like him ... prophetic assurance mixed with surrealistic humour and hard-edged social satire: a unique combination … he is a joy to read.
— Arthur Miller on Karel Čapek
