Jaroslav Rudiš: End of Punk in Helsinki

Translation: Teťjána Okopná

The novel is following the stories of two characters – a pubertal punker girl growing up in the period of decaying socialism in the frontier town of Jeseník and of an aging bar-owner Oleho from an East-German town at the turn of the millennium. Their lives are fatally crossing after a concert of the music group Die toten Hosen.
