Krátky popis
Stories that entwine the mundane with the mystical, written by a
cult favorite Slovakian writer. An unhappily married woman is
impregnated by her elderly neighbor who lives in a building across
the street and with whom she has never had any physical contact.
Just as his attention creates life within her, his own life waxes
and wanes with her gaze and attention.A man finds himself trapped
in a pub on a sweltering afternoon after refusing to buy a beer
with his cigarettes. Guarded by a vigilante bartender and his
beer-obsessed patrons, his every attempt at escape is foiled until
their life-giving elixir, the beer, runs out. This collection
introduces English-language readers to the work of Dušan Mitana, a
cult figure in contemporary Central European literature.In Mitana’s
stories, appearing in English for the first time, the rational and
the irrational are indistinguishable. His tales infect a banal,
quotidian realism with mystical and supernatural distortions.
Tinged with Hitchcockian paranoia and full of unexpected turns, the
seventeen stories collected here offer a glimpse into Mitana’s
trademark absurdist style.
