Beschreibung
Death sharpens our lives. The central event of Jan Balabán's latest novel is the dying and death of a person, but its inner narrative is a challenging search for life. For it must always be found anew in its depth. We all, in a certain sense, resemble the characters from that remarkable, flowing story by Jan Balabán, full of conversations and soliloquies as well as silences. A story in which truth is sought and authenticity is found. In our earthly decline, we all strive to discover something about the essence of reality, or at least to be with something substantial for a moment. It is almost impossible, for we know painfully little. Our minds are overwhelmed with questions and doubts, distrust and disbelief, nervousness and aggression. Energy is wasted on blind daily operations. Words have rebelled against insidious inaccuracy, hands are short... We still have hearts. Petr Hruška
