A New Book: He, Pišťanek

A monographabout the work of an author who viewed the writer as a jester who is supposed to entertain and to also give valuable insights.

Peter Darovec's monographpresentsas a break-through author of the 1990's who had opened a brand new world within the literature - theworld of mafia and prostitutes andtheir life style and specific behavior, complete with anargot and its terminology. Without moralizing, he wrotenot only about human superficiality, spiritual emptiness and intellectual laziness but also about the manipulative practices of those in power. Many have followed in his footsteps since then but only Pišťanek was able to transform the lowly reality of the post-revolution era into highly literary prose.

Boris Meluš is the author of the bookdesign.Jozef Gertli Danglár hasillustrated the book and created its cover.
