Śmierć czeskiego psa

Pieces that are part story, part memoir, part newspaper item, part potted biography. Among the people in them are a man paid to walk a dog who, after one mishap too many, ends up eating it; the author himself, attending a Berlin screening of Katyń in pyjamas and slippers; and Hans Christian Andersen and Alma Mahler. The voice is misanthropic and anti-heroic, given to black humour, grotesque turns and lavish swearing.
