Jaroslav Rudiš's novella hits the reader right in the solar plexus. Inspired by true events.
The main character, nicknamed Vandam, narrates the story of his life's struggles with the city, the recent past, and family demons. A harsh yet melancholic novella from a housing estate where people and buildings defy nature and inevitable decay.
“There can only ever be one winner. That’s how the world works, no other way. And if you try to beat someone up, you’ll understand how it works and you won’t need to search or fumble around anymore. You’ll teach someone about life, and you’ll be taught a lesson yourself.”
