Description
The collection of essays and reflections by Tomáš Mazal, Dog on a Gondola, offers not only a new insight into the world of literature, visual arts, and film but also serves as a personal statement from the author through his choice of themes and their interpretation. Mazal's texts are united by a careful search in source materials, a relentless pursuit of nearly imperceptible traces and forgotten figures and places that were significant in their time. His characteristic irony, combined with a developed imagination, also finds space, through which he expresses thoughts on the most fundamental foundations of creation. On both human and artistic levels, he is interested in the authors, their fates, stories, and the spaces in which they are rooted, particularly in marginal situations, yet with understanding and a certain modesty, especially rare in a time when the methods of tabloid media are omnipresent.
