Muž, který zprůhledněl – Trhlíková Jana (2019)

Stories about the fragility and non-obviousness of relationships, about desire and the search for happiness and certainty in the everyday world. Anna, faced with a serious diagnosis, realizes that her relationship with her boyfriend is just a facade that cannot bear any weight; Sylva seeks ways to escape the monotony of marriage and feel like a woman again; Simon heals his wounds with a life that is too easy and unrestrained; Monika cannot free herself from her mother's influence; and the IT guy Aleš can calculate everything in his life until irrational love steps in... The author, in a collection of fifteen stories, narrates tales of love and breakups, uncertainty and unmet expectations, family secrets, betrayals, and the wounds we inflict on each other. The heroes find themselves at crossroads, realizing that they are somehow stuck in life, that their relationships are shallower and sometimes crueler than they hoped, and they seek possibilities for new beginnings. The stories are both serious and ironic, filled with emotions and surprising twists. Several of these stories have also received awards in literary competitions.
