Tančím u tyče – Zajícová Zuzana (2014)

I went to the mirror and began to examine what femininity is all about. The reflection looking back at me was neither beautiful, nor sad, nor gentle; it was a tired and slightly annoyed woman. Me. But I'll let you in on a secret. While writing this scientific work, my mood lifted, and once I finish, I'll go take another look in the mirror. Maybe a slightly amused and mildly ironic woman will be looking back at me. Me. Each of us faces various traps in life, and the author of this book is no exception. One possible remedy, if not the best one, is the memories of joyful events, a return to childhood. Dancing at the Pole tells of a battle with illness, but a victorious one. You won't find skepticism and despair here, but rather humor and light irony. Zuzana Zajícová knows well that writing is also a guaranteed remedy. And when things get tough, here come the memories! The reader will also find the author's vibrant present, significantly influenced by the fact that she was born a true blonde. For those who need reassurance that they are not alone with their worries, who look at the world around them with hope and humor, this book is intended. ...I dance at the pole. Every day. Much better than hanging from a noose.
