Summary
Michal Viewegh: Mafia in Prague
After the exceptional success achieved by his satirical, warm-humored novels, Michal Viewegh decided to try his hand at a new genre with his latest work. Mafia in Prague is a literary thriller, a detective novel and a critique of society all in one. Inspired by the long-term investigative work of journalist Jaroslav Kmenta, Viewegh tells the story of former powerful lobbyist Darek Balík, who decided to cooperate with the police, offering them a long-standing, carefully collected archive of compromising evidence. This news will upset everyone - from Russian and Czech mobsters to the Czech interior minister - and will serve as a scalpel for Viewegh to cut into the corrupt post-transition society. While creating convincing and vivid portraits of dirty players out of mud and muck, Viewegh's style perfectly suits the satirical thriller genre: short chapters, lively action, frequent and convincing dialogues. Michal Viewegh's books have been translated into twenty languages, several films have been made based on them, and they have also been staged as theatrical plays. The characteristic combination of humor and sentimentality, irony and thought in his works turned him into a favorite of the European literary audience.
