Hana Kosáková's debut (1978) contains texts that relate to the professional life of a worker in the humanities, which in its operational level shows growing signs of absurdity, mirroring the disturbing direction of our entire civilization. This is also reflected in the second defining thematic position with motifs from the private life of the same contemporary woman who is also a wife, mother, participant and observer of contemporary urban everyday life. The whole is a mosaic of laconic records, notes, observations, sketches and glosses of a diary nature. The book is a disturbing mixture of factuality and language play, naivety and sophistication, insightfulness and enlightenment, wit and seriousness, initial astonishment and caustic irony, sharp self-reflection and social criticism.
