About This Novel
A decent embarrassment and an unpredictable ending! "The Female Spectator" is the first volume of Sverak's "Prague Stories" series. It is the first collection of novels published by Oscar-winning screenwriter Sverak at the age of 72. It contains 10 short stories. "Female Spectator" includes ten stories: "Tracking", "Letter from the Court", "Tateshev", "Female Spectator", "Ruslan and Ludmila", "Lenin's Smile", "Vltava River", "Temporary Actor", "Liar" and "Photographer". The protagonists of these stories include a single father who lives in embarrassment, a truck driver who cheated on his wife, an old man who was dumped by his girlfriend when he was young and became deaf, an old lady with rich emotional experiences, a lady with special powers, a liar who has been jailed several times, etc. They are all ordinary people in this city. The problems, dilemmas, embarrassments and confusions these people face will also give readers a sense of deja vu. In fact, this fate may befall anyone.
