Everything is fine, there is love everywhere

Two very different women, who met online, go on a spa vacation together. A documentary filmmaker arrives in an abandoned settlement far from civilization. Mysterious buildings suddenly appear all over the city in the middle of the night. A couple cares for a strange body in a small apartment. Men regularly cry in a suburban candy store.

In his prose debut, which became a literary event in Slovakia, the renowned Slovak poet and translator Michal Tallo wrote stories of tired, anonymous people somewhere on the border between reality and feverish dreams - stories about the inability to escape from the places we carry with us everywhere.

It is published with the support of the Slovak Literary Center.

Michal Tallo (1993) published the poetry collections Antimita (2016), Δ (2018) and The Book of Darkness (2022) and his poems have been translated into English, for example, German, Polish, Greek, Japanese or Ukrainian. He received the Tatra Banka Foundation Award for the book Everything is Alright, There is Love Everywhere. Tallo has strong ties to the Czech literary environment, collaborates with several film and literary festivals, coordinates the Básne SK/CZ competition, and manages and edits the Lentikular edition at the BRAK publishing house. He translated Andrew McMillan and Seán Hewitt into Slovak.
