Beschreibung
The 'modern nomads' of Zuska Kepplová wander through Paris, London, Helsinki, and Budapest, often without a clearer motivation, as if they came to a foreign environment to find themselves and were surprised to discover that even in the midst of London, a small home can be hidden. They left because they wanted to, but they no longer believe in the illusion of a 'better life' west of Prague as much as the generations of emigrants before them. They decided to explore the world, learn the language, make friends. And then return home, more balanced, more experienced, some 'across the water', others 'above it all'. (Aňa Ostrihoňová, iLiteratura.cz) The author received the Ján Johanides Award, the Tatra Bank Foundation Award, the Ivan Krasko Award for debut, and was a finalist for the Anasoft Litera Prize. The translation has also been published in Hungarian and German.
