Magoria: or a Tale of Great Love

A parable about life, history and motives of a grotesque “country under a flat rock”; a crystal clear allegory of Czechoslovakia before the Velvet Revolution. It is the story of a “land of pure absurdity”, where “laws are in force only sometimes ”, and where “Bellies” and “Corpses” rule. The author paints an expressively distorted picture of her own country, by means of an illusion-breaking lyric mosaic. The book also contains some feminist themes and thoughts, but is dominated by other topics, like the future role of messiahs in this “strange world”.
