Medzerový plod

The narrator, referred to as "our heroine", describes the people who immediately surround us, people who disappear from our world and then reappear in it. The text takes the form of short sequences centred on moments of life, strung together into one long narrative thread. Its driving force is personal: the illness and then the death of the heroine's mother, which she has to come to terms with. This loss colours the atmosphere and pushes her to look deeper into herself, sometimes by roundabout ways, with more candour and self-exposure than before.
