Description: "Memorable, haunting characters in memorable, haunting locales fill the pages of Jarda Cervenka's award-winning collection of stories. Cervenka takes us from Choco, the remotest jungle region of Colombia, to the infamous site of the Golden Triangle in Thailand, stopping along the way in Prague's Lesser Town, the island of Gore off the coast of Dakar, a village bar in Kamikawa, heaven, and Minneapolis.".

"Cervenka's characters are imperfect specimens of humanity, politically and otherwise incorrect, and his effortless revelation of their kindness leaves the reader cautiously optimistic and fully entertained."--BOOK JACKET.
