Unicorns - Barbora Hrínová

A humorous and deeply human short story collection that celebrates outsiders, dreamers, and the queer. The award-winning Slovak writer Barbora Hr?nová's short stories paint an intimate portrait of people searching for happiness in a world that feels increasingly unstable and uncertain. Across the eight stories in this volume, we meet a rich cast of ordinary yet unconventional people trying to find their place in a society that often prefers conformity over authenticity. Taking us to such settings as a bustling cafe, a small village shack, a rental flat, or a psychiatric ward, Hr?nová captures the texture of everyday life with piercing accuracy and a fresh, original voice. Unicorns is a remarkable debut that resonates across generations. With compassion, wit, and an eye for detail, it shows us that weirdness isn't rare-it's a universal human experience.
