Summary
Many of the characters in this collection of stories are obsessed with the past. It's all too easy in Czechoslovakia for the Communist Party machine to erase a person from the records leaving only the files of the secret police… as a hidden immortality. As one character says: "The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting". Strong language and explicit descriptions of sex. 1982.
