More about the book
This existential graphic novel draws us into the world of a Prague thirty-something who's just been dumped by his longtime girlfriend. What does it mean to be single at a time when everyone around you is starting families? Is it a blessing or a curse? And what to do now? Think about the past, seek yourself, try to redefine your existence? A lot of questions, not a lot of answers. The single is free, but against his will. And it's this very freedom which brings him stories and experiences which he'd never go through otherwise. A strange trip to Rome with a friend that didn't go as planned. A brief but nonetheless intense relationship with a racist soccer fan. And many other scenes which play out in his head as memories during a purgative voyage across the Arctic Ocean. The single is like an iceberg waiting for a fateful Titanic to strike.
