Description
Her name is Nina. She used to paint, but since the moment she got married, she can no longer do it. Why? Her husband surrounds her with luxury and aseptic cleanliness, and she resists having a child with him. She leaves him for other men and women, wandering both in reality and in memories of her nonconformist grandmother, who worked as a doctor in Africa. And she is searching for a way. Back to herself and to her painting. As a storyteller from One Thousand and One Nights, Nina intertwines the past with the present and draws readers into her stories. Her evocative confession brings a multitude of sensory, often very raw impressions, erotic passages, or even a color catalog from Lefranc Huile. The novel Is Clay Edible? by Jakub Katalpa burst onto the Czech literary scene in 2006. It was nominated for the Magnesia Litera award, and critics particularly praised its play with language, distinctive poetic quality, and unusual genre classification. This is the first book by the bestselling author of Zuzanin dech and Němci.
