Pečená zebra

Where do all the strange figures who drift around Prague come from, and what are they up to? What do Czech girls see in African men, and how does living together actually work? Four storylines interweave the relationships of culturally mismatched couples: naive and less naive young women dazzled by money, drugs and sex, seasoned dealers from Africa, and many other ordinary and unusual people. With an almost documentary eye, the novel looks at people who were not born in the country and meet a reality quite unlike the one they were used to. Every story is based on a real event the author observed over some fifteen years.
