Surely you can’t shoot your father-in-law

Dita Hamáčková has simply had enough. She's going through a mid-life crisis, her daughter is dating some very questionable characters, her alcoholic husband refuses to accept her divorce petition, and on top of it all, she supports everyone with a dubious job as a tabloid journalist for the Výstřel daily newspaper and is forced to hide from furious celebrities. A report from a feuding tramp settlement turns her already very unconventional life completely upside down.

In her new book, the popular author Eva Michorová has brilliantly interwoven several layers – beneath the humorous, at times even zany, story of an (un)ordinary fifty-year-old lies an uncompromising and authentic account of the practices of tabloid media and the people whose lives and popularity are directly based on superficial scandalisation.
