It’s one of my absolute favorite books. The writing style (and successful English translation) is poetic and whimsical, transporting the reader to a fantastical world via Dite’s imaginative perspective. A true literary masterpiece.

tõenäoliselt on sellest raamatust võimalik välja lugeda sügavaid... asju. näiteks, nagu tagakaanetekst pakub, "väikese inimese hedonistlikest õnneotsingutest, ambitsioonidest ja alandlikkusest". minu jaoks oli tegu lihtsalt võrdlemisi meeleoluka jauramisega, mulle meeldis see teadvuse voolu stiil ja need jutustatud lood (või see üks lugu?) olid huvitavad ka, aga ma ei tea, kas sellest nüüd kustumatut muljet jääb. (mõned seksistseenid tundusid küll... rasked unustada:P)

ma arvan, et kellele Švejk meeldis, meeldiks see ka. (ma ei mäleta, kas mulle meeldis. olen Švejki elus kaks korda lugenud, paraku mõlemad korrad olukorras, kus oli kohutavalt igav ja midagi muud lugeda polnud, nii et ma ikka veel ei tea, kas ma eelistaksin teda ka mõnele teisele raamatule või eelistan ainult üldse mitte lugemisele:)) aga järgmine kord, kui tšehhi kirjanduse ette võtan, püüan midagi vähemšvejki leida tasakaaluks, küllap neil sedagi peab varuks olema.
