Enter the gas-lit streets of post-war Prague, the steelworks run by
singed men, the covered market that smells of new-born babes, the
cacophonous open-air dance hall. Mr Kafka is avoiding his
landlady's blueberry wine breath, a stonemason witnesses the
destruction of a monument to Stalin he risked his life to build,
and factory men strain to catch a glimpse of a beautiful bathing
murderess. In these newly discovered stories, Hrabal captures men
and women in an eerily beautiful nightmare and their spirit in all
its misery and splendour.
