Powieść napisana z punktu widzenia alkoholika

Pod mocnym aniołem

Tysiac spokojnych miast

"W felietonach zebranych w tym zbiorze czytelnik może znaleźć nieomal wszystko: zielone zęby przewodniczącego Mao, drwiny z grafomańskich powieści komunistycznych aparatczyków, ale też spory o piosenkę Kasi Nosowskiej czy bokserskie potyczki Andrzeja Gołoty. Autor podszczypuje autorytety, bez litości boksuje słabszych twórców, wyśmiewa rodzime bolączki, szuka dziur w rzeczywistości poszukując przy tym rzeczy ważnych i trwałych."--

The Mighty Angel

Opowieści wigilijne

Kange ingli tiiva all

Dr. Pawel Kohoutek, veterinarian and womanizer, looks out the window one morning to see his mistress approaching his house. Farce ensues as Kohoutek attempts to hide the woman from his eccentric family, the family's lodgers, and various offbeat visitors. The woman, expecting love and children and a future, does not make things easy. As he frantically runs around trying to keep her a secret, Kohoutek's memories -- mostly involuntary and (in true postmodern fashion) of questionable accuracy -- reveal in hilarious detail the life and crises of a hapless libertine and the forces that created him.
