Description
Vendelín Snach is a man whose own mother forgot him at the maternity hospital, and nothing in his life has improved since. Every day he faces the bio-socio-eco-terror of his mother-in-law Drahoráda, who considers him a second-class creature, outranked only by the hamster and the parrot. He lives permanently on the defensive against his daughters and struggles in vain to succeed in the modern world. The book is made up of stories in which ordinary situations—buying a television, driving a car, building a business, or tending a country cottage in Limpouchov—turn into absurd grotesques told with dry humor and disarming self-irony. There are no artistic evasions, only the attempt to survive lunch with dignity. It is reading for anyone who thinks bad luck follows them everywhere, and quickly convinces them that things can always be worse. This book is for those who know that life is an absurd farce and that the only solution is an honest laugh.
