Angel Station, Paperback / softback Book

Angel Station Paperback / softback

Part of the Czech Literature Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Angel Station takes its title from the bustling Metro stop in the Prague district of Smíchov.

Until the gentrification of the late 1990s, it was a rough-and-tumble, working-class neighborhood with a sizeable Roma and Vietnamese population.

Topol’s novel, in sparse yet poetic language-agilely brought into English by the author’s longtime translator Alex Zucker-weaves together the brutal and disturbing fates of an addict, a shopkeeper, and a religious fanatic as they each follow the path they hope will lead them to serenity: drugs, money, and faith.
