The first illustrated version of the popular book.
Daniela Kapitáňová's debut Samko Tále's Cemetery Book was firt published in Slovakia in 2000 and defied an easy label. One could call it the memoirs of an idiot, but that would not begin to describe everything going on in this unusual work.
As it is presented, Samko Tále's Cemetery Book is the unedited two-volume journal written by the almost-44-year-old Samko Tále, a physically and mentally disabled individual living in the small town of Komárno in southern Slovakia. He spends his days collecting cardboard and wheeling it to the local Recycling Center on his handcart. One day a local drunk and fortune teller, Gusto Rúhe, writes on the sidewalk that Samko "will write the Cemetery Book." What exactly the Cemetery Book is, no one knows, least of all our protagonist. But what is written must be the law, and Samko is not one to question or disobey it.
