Jeremy Dyson Knihy

Sbírka strašidelně laděných povídek. Kniha londýnského autora představuje pozoruhodnou sbírku dvanácti téměř neuvěřitelných povídek, které autor obratně stmelil svým záměrně surrealistickým nazíráním každodenního života lidí se všemi jejich možnými i nemožnými tužbami a tajnými smyslovými vzněty. Z větší části jde o fiktivní příběhy z doby nejen dnešní, ale i dávno minulé, s jistým morálním ponaučením. Všechny povídky spojuje jejich mnohovýznamovost a pronikavý účinek, který mají na čtenáře, o čemž svědčí fakt, že ve Velké Británii se kniha stala v roce 2001 naprostým bestsellerem. Neblahé předtuchy, žena-automat, odliv odhalující něco zcela nečekaného, budoucnost předpovídající bankomaty nebo bludiště, které se vytrácí z paměti – to vše svědčí o úžasné fantazii a vypravěčském umění autora. Ne nadarmo si za název své knihy zvolil část maďarského přísloví: Králíkům se nikdy nedá věřit. Vypadají skoro jako dětská hračka, ale sežerou vám úrodu.
