Krátky popis
Michal Viewegh's novel Bringing Up Girls in Bohemia is the story of
the young Beata Kralova and her not-so-young tutor.Beata is a
20-year-old drop-out and daughter of Denis Kral (i.e., King), a
Czech "new millionaire" of dubious connections. Beata embraces
lover after lover as well as causes new to Eastern Europe: the
environment, animal rights, feminism, consumerism, new-age
religion.This picaresque romp gives a gritty but hilarious portrait
of today's Prague, its mafiosi and their ex-secret police
bodyguards, the expatriate Americans, and many an extraordinary
Czech, from a cremation enthusiast to a hopelessly naive
sex-education teacher.The novel is also a serious exploration of
the role of the writer in post-communist Central Europe. The
narrator, himself an author and teacher who is in love with Beata,
must portray her suicide in terms that explain her nihilism without
losing faith in his own positive craft of story-telling. His
hard-won credo as artist is to be an entertainer in a world of
newly felt cruelty and suffering.
