Laughable Loves
My friend Kate suggested this to me. I would not have chosen it, the cover seems to be based on a chick lit paperback
Its a series of stories, written just before the Prague spring. Its a world, that has been forgotten and is a shame. As this world should not be forgotten. The petty fallacies of one party rule. A young man trying to woo a pious lover. Is in danger of losing his position because the state frowns on religion. He is discovered leaving a church, and praying to a roadside shrine both are attempts to impress the pious Alice, both acts are noted and reported.
In a similar vein a Nurse who has a little too much to drink, and makes a mistake with her stove, could be removed to an asylum
There is a dig, at someone ordering vodka. Too Russian A young couple are lead to a room with two single beds. This happens in the Tatra mountains which is now Slovakia
There is a mention of a Swedish girl stripping in Vienna. Which is surely anachronistic
A young editor, is described as being as nervous as a high school student facing the committee before his final exam.
There were no Etruscans in Bohemia.
Bohemians do not seek revenge with knives for the wrongs done to their parents. The thoughts of a girl who father lost his store to the revolution
One of the girls, whom the characters in a story flirt with sounds like she is underage.
It is a different world. However the failings of the actors up[on the stage of this world are universal. I saw myself in many of them.
