Three chapters

If the first prose text of the poet Daniel Hradecký was called The Ruins of a Diary, his new prose could be boldly followed by the subtitle The Ruins of a Novel. The three linguistically polished, shorter prose pieces are filled with the testimony of the individual's struggle with existence on the edge, not only of social exclusion, but also of that ontological abyss. The narrower the narrator's world is by circumstance, the wider the scope of his mind in his hard-edged ironic analysis of the world around him. Alcohol, family pathologies, North Bohemia, but also an indomitable will - these are the components of a telescope pointed into the cold darkness of the universe.
