The collected edition of longer prose by one of the most significant Czech authors of the last twenty years. Jan Balabán's works have always balanced on the border between short st ories and novels. The characters in his short story collections reappear, and the situations they find themselves in create broader and more complex narratives. Conversely, the plots of his novels loosen into episodes, each of which could also live its own life. The second volume of Balabán's work presents him precisely in this 'novel' mode and includes the books Boží lano, Černý beran, Kudy šel anděl, and Zeptej se táty. Similar to the previous volume of short stories, we can observe the author's creative development and the finding of a distinctive, this time novel form. Show more
