Post-communist Central Europe viewed as an unwitting comedy trying to take itself seriously. How much of Marx is left in its behaviour? When will it stop blaming everything on everyone else? How long will it take to become normal? Composed of real stories, some fiction and a few jokes, it will make the reader „crack a smile sooner or later“ (The Prague Post). First published in 2001, it can still serve as a document of recent history (with a pinch of salt and a sarcastic grin).
