description: Born in 1964 in Prague, Ewald Murrer belongs to that generation of Czech artists who came of age during the last years of the communist regime and who immediately afterward began to have their work disseminated in official publications. This is his first volume composed solely of prose. The language has the same lyrical quality for which he has become known as one of the important Czech poets of his generation. The book is composed of 17 stories, dream-like sequences with recurrent characters as components of the dreams. In this manner Murrer has created a semiotic fantasy world where every gesture is loaded with meaning. The stories are sharply ironic, erudite in their symbolism, and portray the eternal beauty of the banal.
