SUMMER READING ... continued...

Fox Season: playing on the busy roads of BREXIT including but not limited to bombs, bowing and babies

Barcode: women playing, thieving and growing up in 1980s Hungary including but not limited to lying, pencils and a glimpse over the borders of desire and commodity fetishism

Three Plastic Rooms: playing with whips, bo***ge and unladylike language including but not limited to delusional monologuing, handbag fetishism and re-imagining sexual organs.

What's not to like?!

The Balla Summer Holiday collection consists of the same four titles as the Winter collection but that just highlights how amazing it actually is

Delusional middle-aged men gently satirized for the entertainment of the discerning reader. You know that's what summer is all about!

Actually, there are three Jantar titles in the The New York Times today in a piece describing how to read your way through Prague.

City of Torment
KYTICE
Three Plastic Rooms

Prague has survived wars and political strife — and through it all, its literary scene has thrived. Jaroslav Kalfar, the author of “Spaceman of Bohemia,” recommends books that connect readers to the city.

11/07/2024

Lovely to see 'City of Torment' get a mention in the The New York Times in a piece by the author of 'Spaceman of Bohemia', Jaroslav Kalfař.

He writes

'In Daniela Hodrova’s “City of Torment,” a compendium of three novels, the protagonist, Alice, begins the story by gazing out her apartment window over the Olsany graveyard; to avoid being transported to a concentration camp, she takes flight in pursuit of her lover — or jumps to her death. Later in the trilogy, Prague becomes occupied by marionettes and turns into a circle of the inferno, where Hodrova tries to swap places with her protagonist. This hometown love letter is a nod to the city’s dizzying architecture, fragmented identity, and troubled history. It also bears witness to the deadening of the human soul caused by the totalitarian war on art.'

What a star!
