Roots

Short stories by leading Czech authors. How do you come to terms with the fact that your dad is someone different from who you thought he was your whole life? What if your sister never stops being jealous of you? Can you win an argument with a parent who owns all the truths ever brought into the world? Roots—it’s Sunday lunch in front of the television, the first day of school that turns your life upside down forever, or an impossible-to-find instant soup. In this book, you will find short stories by Viktorie Hanišová, Marek Epstein, Marie Doležalová, Pavla Horáková, Denisa Prošková, Iva Pekárková, Bianca Bellová, Martin Goffa, Marek Torčík, and Adéla Elbel.
