Celebrate March, the month of books, with us at the Book Galaxy event, where we will welcome Silvester Lavrík and present his latest novel Forecast for Tomorrow.
Evolution taught humans to love; a couple of horses pull a cart more easily. As long as you love, you live. Blah blah blah. Then why does love destroy us so effectively? Dreamed, platonic, unrequited, even the fulfilled one. Does love know anything else than biting its own tail?
Zoja does not believe in love; more than love, she fears death. She has, unlike love, looked death in the eye. Vladimir laughs at love after all those years spent in the beds of dissatisfied women post-warranty, and the inhabitants of Chudá Lehota only love their memories.
They met by chance, although it turns out that some of them helped her. The story is filled with lies, thefts, and even disasters, but at its beginning, there was a ghastly thing and an egg in a meteorological hut. Zoja and Vladimir are stuck in a dying village and are preparing for the end of the world. And on top of that, there is always some weather. How many conversations do we have to survive before we stop conversing and allow the words to truly speak about what isn’t spoken? It is unknown how it will end, but to quote a classic - this is what love is like in the time of corona.
With an intimate love story crippled by the malice of major and minor blows of fate, the author of renowned historical novels straddling fact and fiction returns with a contemporary novel with a small dose of sci-fi, in which he again emphasizes well-observed situations, precise work with dialogues of complex characters, and surprising plot twists. A persistent stream of lively dialogues grabs the reader from the first page and does not let go until the last words of the story ring out, which are also the first words of another rare love.
Silvester Lavrík is a Slovak prose writer, poet, playwright, screenwriter, and lyricist. After studying at P. J.
