The short stories included in the book from Ota Pavel's two volumes, "Death of Beautiful Deer" and "How I Met the Fish, " are a lyrical and grotesque return to the mythical land of childhood, to the sense of freedom and primordial harmony symbolized by the fairy-tale world of nature. A special role in this microcosm is played by the young protagonist's immediate family, especially his father, a comedian, philosopher and passionate fisherman, portrayed with tender irony.
