Recensione
"Sexy and saxy.... čkvoreckż replays ... his trademark riffs on literature, love and exile [and] the adventures of young -- jazz lovers in 1950s Prague." -The Globe and Mail
"Compelling ... [Headed for the Blues] conveys the uncanny sensation of what it must have felt like to be gripped in the madcap claustrophobia of postwar Czechoslovak society with its tangled moral dilemmas and its tendency toward absurd domestic tragi-comedy." -The New York Times Book Review
"Equal parts Lenin and Kafka.... The humour, as one would expect, is of the laugh to keep from crying school." -The Globe and Mail
"Throughout, there's a powerfully tight line of fraught, threatened, fearful energy that suggests, more than any anecdote, what it must have been like to live under the crush of an arbitrarily cruel regime.... [This is čkvoreckż's] life and times in its original dark hues." -Quill & Quire
From the Trade Paperback edition.
