Tato kniha, zasazená do Prahy 90. let, je divokou a humornou jízdou, která zachycuje bouřlivé dny transformace Evropy po pádu železné opony. Autor s energickým a vtipným stylem oživuje atmosféru města v přechodu a postavy Američanů hledajících své místo na nové hranici. Je to temně komické, pohlcující a dojemné vyprávění o střetu kultur a exulantském životě, které dokonale zrcadlí absurditu života a civilizace v úpadku.
