story of the basilisk
by Vaclav Kahuda
translated from the Czech
Since his debut in the early 1990s, Vaclav Kahuda has become one of the most discussed Czech writers of his generation.
He has developed his own unique style that blends the extremely grotesque with the humorous and melancholic. Nowhere is
this better exemplified than in Story of the Basilisk, a cult sensation upon its publication in 1992. The present
volume, the first of Kahuda's to be published in another language, is a collection of texts that best display the
writing that has come to be known as "Kahudaesque."
Review extracts:
Vaclav Kahuda is an extraordinary talent. In terms of style and language he
towers far above his contemporaries. |
