Written as a compilation of journal entries spanning March to December, The Diary of Mr Pinke relates the strange happenings amongst a group of town residents in a mythical region which could be the Galician countryside. Mr Pinke pursues the symbol of purity in this Chagall-like atmosphere as people and beasts float across the landscape, leaving only cryptic traces of their passage. Through the combination of poetry and prose, Murrer gives the narrative a unique and personal lyricism that places him at the forefront of the new generation of Czech writers.
