"Искрено се зарадвах, когато през 2018 година в Украйна започна да се подготвя Антология на съвременния чешки разказ на украински език. За мен книгата беше чудесен пример за това, което е възникнало в този жанр в Чехия през последните 10 години, но и нещо като малка литературна гастрономия за издатели, преводачи и любители на чешката литература. И разбира се - прекрасно средство за обществена дипломация. Това е книга, с която можем да се представим извън Чехия, която мога да подаря на нашите български партньори, сътрудници и колеги. Съставители на антологията При чехите са Луцие Ржехоржикова - бивш директор на ... |

Рабо дружи с легенди като Джаксън Полък и Марк Ротко, тъй като сам е един от основоположниците на абстрактния експресионизъм - школа, която не символизира нищо и със своята себевглъбеност отлично обрисува съвременното състояние на света.
