Dancing Lessons for the Advanced in Age (2026)

This ebullient, gallivanting novella encapsulates the world vision of the Czech Republics best-loved author in one tumbling, breathtaking sentence. An ageing man holds court, spinning a single, unbroken stream of stories about his lifeloves won and lost, jobs taken and abandoned, moments of absurdity and chance. As he talks, the line between memory and invention begins to blur.
