A lyrical, mysterious tour through Prague mixes history and legend with everyday reality, a child's reflections on the Christian concept of sinfulness lead him to resolve to sin -just a little bit, - drunken men banter over interminable card games, and a woman's salvation comes in the unexpected form of pickled buttocks.
Bringing together authors of different generations, styles, and backgrounds--including, for the first time in English, two stories by Czech Roma--this collection expresses women's multiple perspectives on social and intimate issues with by turns caustic and sensitive insight into human nature.
