Description
Not just an anthology of Škrabal's previously published books. Now released, a novel in poems. A lifelong, personal, and societal novel. Artistic reflection and politically incorrect jokes. The old world, the new world. An American road movie. Glasses on the eyes, cola in hand, and off we go!
A start in Brno with a ball at our feet. A speed record in adult Prague, the peak of capitalism in the '90s. Then stability on the regular circuit of marriage, children, work... And the winning ribbon–love? A trailer with detours towards literature and a cottage. A heavy landing in a midlife crisis and a crisis of society. The way out? The one who stands wins. Folk wisdom as a happy ending, as zen, as a joke.
Few poets can boast that their verses are recited by both young and old, intellectuals and tipsy festival-goers. It takes little. To face evil together. To share happiness in half. One club, one God!
