A brutally funny, carnivalesque novel about love, death, and survival, from the Czech Republic's greatest living author

Trade Review
“A superb, mesmerizing novel, reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy’s Suttree and Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, set against the background of the permanent Russian threat to Central Europe.”—Misha Glenny, BBC broadcaster and journalist

Praise for the Czech Edition:

“A picaresque romp of black humor and fantasy, the novel teems with extraordinary characters, but it is also urgently contemporary.”—James A. Hopkin, Times Literary Supplement

“As long as Europe inspires such works of art, all is not lost.”—Jorg Plath, Neue Zürcher Zeitung

“Fast-paced and dazzling.”—Dennis Wagner, Kultur.21
