Beer & Meth: Inside Capitalist Czech Republic

By Jakub Ryška and Pavel Splichal

Czech Republic--birthplace of Donald Trump's first wife, the words "robot" and "Budweiser," and the very best methamphetamine in the whole world. The writing duo Jakub Ryska and Pavel Splichal have earned cult status through their outrageous and surgically precise descriptions of such a place and the fights, dreams, and desperation of its middle class. For seven years on their blog Prigl.cz they managed to offend possibly every social group in the country, including naive university graduates, marketing nerds, daddy's darlings, car tuning enthusiasts, and esoterica devotees, but also failed artists and self-proclaimed intellectuals working in call centers. Their articles have attracted millions of readers and the attention of the mainstream Czech media. Their book, ?vod do soucasn? trapnosti ("Introduction to Contemporary Awkwardness"), has been nominated for multiple literary awards, winning none of them, presumably because of its harsh language and total lack of regard towards the Czech literary and cultural establishment. And because the zealousness of the middle class knows no bounds, the book is now available to you right now. This essential manual for surviving school, work, and the unemployment office is also a great gift for all the people you don't like--especially those you're too afraid to tell openly how much they get on your nerves. So don't hesitate to scroll up and click the BUY button.
