Líštičky majú rady teplo

The book is meant as a kind of opera in which all the acts play on stage at once, its stories as arias. The opening pieces are deeply personal, full of sounds and images of nature, of the places the narrator moves through and the people close to her, and of thoughts about writing. Around the second third they give way to stories of very different people from all walks of life, among them Rózka, who speaks western Slovak dialect, and the tenants of a housing-estate block, before the narrator returns, sitting in the waiting room of an eye clinic. The author wanted to put into it her love of ever-renewing nature, in which human, animal and plant are only temporary.
