Description
A novel about self-deception, life assessment, and a writer who misses the themes and himself. Forty-year-old Arnošt Doubek endlessly tours author readings with his debut novel. He stubbornly resists the label of a young promising author. He hasn't written anything in years, and hope is fading into oblivion. Arnošt spends the remnants of his energy charmingly humorizing his life. At least in front of others. Lying to himself, however, is becoming increasingly difficult, especially when sobriety is sometimes unavoidable. Until one visit to his hometown triggers a dramatic series of events and the truth begins to emerge. Where Arnošt fails as an author, his heroes help him: his sick father, fateful love, sister Alenka, mother, the Bolshevik, and above all, the Man Without a Tongue.
