Description

Set in the near-distant future, Spaceman of Bohemia follows a Czech astronaut as he launches into space to investigate a mysterious dust cloud covering Venus, a suicide mission sponsored by a proud nation. Suddenly a world celebrity, Jakub's marriage starts to fail as the weeks go by, and his sanity comes into question. After his mission is derailed he must make a violent decision that will force him to come to terms with his family's dark political past.

About the Author

Dear Reader,My name is Jaroslav Kalfař. I was born into a revolution in Prague, Czech Republic, where I began writing short stories at the wondrous age of five. I immigrated to the United States at the age of fifteen to pursue writing in English. I studied writing and literature at New York University, and during my time there I wrote an early draft of my debut novel, Spaceman of Bohemia.Spaceman was a finalist for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, The Arthur C. Clarke Award, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and a nominee for the Dublin Literary Award. The book has been published in fourteen languages so far. A film adaptation directed by Johan Renck, starring Adam Sandler, Carey Mulligan, and Paul Dano, is coming to Netflix in 2022.In 2018, I was honored to receive the prestigious fiction fellowship from the National Endowments for the Arts, the highlight of my career so far.I live in Brooklyn, where I split my time between writing novels and screenplays, and devouring any book I can get my hands on. I love odd books that play with genre expectations, reflect the strangest parts of life which can be found both in the mundane and the extraordinary.I travel back to the Czech Republic as often as possible, to reconnect with my family, my language, my culture and history. I am grateful to have multiple homes, as each provides its own unique inspiration, stories, texture of living.How unlikely, yet here we are. It's wonderful to meet you.
