Folks, life is beautiful! Bring on the drinks, Im sticking around till Im ninety! Do you hear?A young boy grows up in a sleepy Czech community where little changes. His raucous, mischievous Uncle Pepin came to stay with the family years ago, and never left. But the outside world is encroaching on their closeknit town first in the shape of German occupiers, and then with the new Communist order. Elegiac and moving, Bohumil Hrabals gemlike portrayal of the passing of an age is filled with wit, life and tenderness. What is unique about Hrabal is his capacity for joy Milan KunderaEven in a town where nothing happens, Hrabals meticulous and exuberant fascination with the human voice insists that, as long as theres still breath in a body, life is endlessly eventful Independent
