Paul Robert Wilson (born 3 July 1941 in Hamilton, Ontario) is a Canadian translator and writer. In 1967 he moved to Czechoslovakia where he performed as a singer with The Plastic People of the Universe. Because he was member of this group, he was banished from Czechoslovakia in 1977.[1] This band was banned in Czechoslovakia and their recordings could not be officially released.
