Description

Given Hakl's flair for the surreal, his laconic sense of humour, and unflinching scrutiny of those closest to him, it's easy to see how these stories have elevated him to the status of cult hero in his native Czech Republic.

About the Author
Emil Hakl is the author of several books in his native Czech, including collections of poetry and short stories as well as a novel and a novella. He is a former copywriter and editor for the literary magazine Tvar and the recipient of the Magnesia Litera Prize and the Josef Skvorecky Award. Petr Kopet is a translator. Karen Reppin is a translator whose works include English translations of Franz Kafka's Letter to Father and The Metamorphosis.

Reviews
"Europe is heavy with history in these stories and the traces left by cataclysm and upheaval--these are present in these tales, and yet coexist with a kind of wry and knowing playfulness." --Times "Hakl's downbeat humor never flags, often tied to flashes of lyricism." --Independent

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
