Description
As soon as Ani Petrak opens her mouth, everyone knows she is not from here. Her accent is variously mistaken for Slovak, Ukrainian, British, South African or even Tahitian, but Ani is actually American. More than ten years ago, she left the land of the free and the home of the brave and began the next part of her life in the heart of Europe, bringing her American abandon, naive optimism, determination and stubbornness with her. She learned Czech language and culture through the old-fashioned method of being thrown in at the deep end, and along the way gathered stories about politicians, athletes, homeless people, stalkers, misogynists, librarians, teachers and some of the most generous people on Earth. Fortunately, Ani has a healthy stubborn streak, a Czech sense of humor and the fighting spirit of her homeland. This Czech-language collection of essays recounts some of her experiences and shows how she made a place for herself in the Czech lands.
