Description
Prepare — set — debut! A moment, one of a thousand, when a person steps aside and jumps off the conveyor belt of their own life: turns off the phone, lets everyone be damned, for some reason doesn’t go to work in the morning, just gets drunk with a stranger, offers shelter to a beggar, or kicks the blooming poppies. This is the moment when life opens up and bursts, a path or a chasm appears, or a way to the bottom of the abyss. These heroes know that it only depends on them how much they experience and what they snatch from life. Their closest companion is solitude, even though they know that the silence that accompanies it can be deadly, and sometimes they have to scream like into the woods. Once the only answer is an echo, but other times the call reaches the ear of another being. Debut author Vladimíra Valová comes with a collection of sharp prose that evokes the mood of Jan Balabán. No one is pretending, and if they are, it doesn’t last long. It’s not a cheerful world, but it’s not hopeless either, and above all — it’s ours.
