From the publisher
This ebullient, gallivanting novella encapsulates the world vision of the Czech Republic’s best-loved author in one tumbling, breathtaking sentence.
An ageing man holds court, spinning a single, unbroken stream of stories about his life - loves won and lost, jobs taken and abandoned, moments of absurdity and chance. As he talks, the line between memory and invention begins to blur.
