Vzal sis Slovenku Deus Alexandra (2025)

This Czech-language book is a sarcastic, ironic and sometimes amusingly harsh confession about a relationship between two people who thought they would speak the same language. Alexandra Deus observes the comic misunderstandings of a Czech-Slovak marriage, in which even a heart attack can become a funny anecdote, as Ji Mdl notes in his recommendation. When the couple decide to decorate their carefully arranged urban-jungle balcony with stones, a simple conversation about buying them at Hornbach turns into a memory of childhood, streams, meadows and painted pebbles. A trip to Slovakia then provides a practical solution, as well as five rounded granite stones from the shores of Liptovsk Mara to decorate their Prague balcony.
