Description
Bohumil Hrabal, Jack Kerouac, perhaps even Jack London – these are distant literary relatives of Josef Pánek. The short story collection 'The Opal Digger' draws primarily from several years the author spent in Australia, but it is also a testimony to the life experience of a generation that suddenly found the whole world opened up to them with the fall of the totalitarian regime. The raw and unrestrained energy of the text underscores the often crazy and sometimes bitter narratives of the main character, a storyteller of post-communism, a man who never rides a bike with a helmet.
