Winner of the Egon HostovskÃ½ Prize as the best Czech book of the year, this epic novel powerfully captures the sense of dislocation that followed the Czechsâ€™ newfound freedom in 1989.Â More than just the story of its young protagonistâ€”who is part businessman, part gang member, part drifterâ€”it is a novel that includes terrifying dream scenes,Â Czech and American Indian legends, a nightmarish Eastern European flea market, comic scenes about the literary world, and an oddly tender story of the love between the protagonist and his spiritual sister.
