Hegemony - Erik Šimšík

A collection of three novellas Dávaj pozor na obličky (Take Care of Your Kidneys), Malasaňa and Hegemónia (Hegemony). In the stories there is a person who both exists and who does not exist; someone who tries to find the meaning of existence. The world is a mere background to the characters' stories. They confront one another and are caught in emotional crises in which their self-awareness destroys their inner worlds. They are neither important nor famous; similarly, they are either good or bad. Just ordinary people with their fears and mistakes -- they might even be your neighbours.
