About the book
One Hundred Novels and a Few Pieces is an essay book that approaches prose. It is a kind of exploration, almost a hymn to reading and listening, but also a journey from childhood to adulthood, a precise description of the stations at which the narrator stops. Among them is the cult collection One Hundred Novels, a gigantic gateway to world literature, Piki Jakob as a children's classic.
The Fifth Floor of a Three-Story House as a satirical classic, Milan Kleč as a classic in his own right, Hermann Hesse as a decolonized classic... This is followed by plays, and with music the story is similar to that of literature. The stations are sometimes well-known, sometimes more mysterious, but in most cases just as classic.
