Praise
“This miniature masterpiece and the other four stories come to us in one voice, that of an inexplicably overlooked Czech master who is only now finding an English-speaking audience. Credit is due to Pushkin Press for rediscovering Urzidil.” — The National
“A deeply moving look into the mind and heart of a man trying to both preserve his memories of home and contend with the cruel political realities shaping it.” — The Atlantic
“Not only a compelling read but also a valuable literary artifact.” — Los Angeles Review of Books
”The last great troubadour of a long-lost Prague.” — Max Brod
“A neat volume of five unusual, arresting short stories.” — Country Life
“full of unexpected twists that leave you guessing.” — The Lady
