Author and visual artist Petr Mano will read from his prose collection Šarlák. The author of the literary event of the year describes 12 different jobs that he held over a 12-year period.

Absurdity, sadness, solitude and mad revelries, labouring stints in a factory, as a cleaner, in a playground full of secondary school students, a ploughed field and a stud farm, the urban landscape surrounding the charming town of Písek, the cathartic role of wild drinking sprees… all of this is described with unprecedented vivacity and bravura on a journey into the depths of night in 1980s Bohemia.
