Review of 'The Other City (Czech Literature Series)' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
The soldiers who spend months on end there among the coats themselves end up looking more like coats than people, and their thinking is more like the thinking of coats (for instance, they spend hours on end thinking about a city, where there are houses, monuments and streetlights on springs, and through whose streets there walks a solitary pony).
This book is absolutely as strange as I could possibly hope a book to be, and yet entirely comprehensible and with a strong plot and message. A+, will be reading it again and again in the future.
