A brutally funny, carnivalesque novel about love, death, and
survival, from the Czech Republic's greatest living author Tab, an
itinerant Czech actor, travels around Europe on the theater circuit
with his partner, Sona, and their two young sons, attending
festivals and performing plays. Confronted with growing resentment
toward foreigners, Tab decides to return home to the banks of the
Sazava River, southeast of Prague. As soon as they arrive, Tab
finds himself falsely accused of a terrible crime and forced to go
on the run with his sons. Over the course of their journey, dodging
authorities by car, foot, and raft, they encounter a motley cast of
allies and enemies. The effects of Tab's sudden reappearance and
just-as-sudden disappearance ripple through the community,
catalyzing a chaotic chain of events that reaches a final, raucous
crescendo. Hailed as "a picaresque romp of black humor and fantasy"
(Times Literary Supplement), this is an unforgettable novel about
discovering sparks of humanity even in the bleakest of places, in
which love or the longing to find it lies around every bend.
