Zeptej se táty

A doctor dies after giving himself his own final diagnosis, and his son, the narrator, can no longer ask him the questions that matter. In stern conversations with himself and with his brother and sister he goes over how they have all lived, including the grey years of communist normalisation. A charge hangs over the father's memory: that as a doctor he did not always care for everyone in need equally. Measured against a strict Protestant morality, the question stays open. The novel moves through dialogues, inner monologues and silences in which the characters try to get at the truth.
