Bílá zvířata jsou velmi často hluchá

The characters of these stories are stuck in their lives the way a white stag in the title story once pushed its head through a discarded tyre and had to live with it for good. They rattle curtain rails, collect samples of whale breath, bite through monstrous gelatine bears, build time traps and bravely eat the half-rotten apples of truth. Women flood men with tirades and men answer with silence. All of them are a little deaf and off balance, aware of their weaknesses and expecting fair punishment: a key lost in a coat lining, a fall into a courtyard, being thrown out of their own flat by a guest. The stories follow them through critical situations, looking for an understanding their world lacks.
