SPACEMAN OF BOHEMIA by Jaroslav Kalfar
The recently published SPACEMAN OF BOHEMIA has received some fantastic notices. The Wall Street Journal has included the book on their list of Best New Fiction. NPR writes: “Spaceman of Bohemia gets heavy—but the story, like its protagonist, flies along weightlessly…. it speaks to Kalfar's deftness that Jakub is never less than charismatic and engaging, even when wallowing in the least admirable dimensions of his own mind.” The New York Times in their review called it “A frenetically imaginative first effort, booming with vitality and originality . . . Kalfar’s voice is distinct enough to leave tread marks.”

Leah Schnelbach reviews SPACEMAN OF BOHEMIA for Tor.com, calling it “funny and moving.” Jaroslav Kalfar’s recent debut novel, SPACEMAN OF BOHEMIA, BookPage writes, “It’s irreverent and thoughtful, tragic and comic, deadpan and poignant.” Inverse and Newsweek both name SPACEMAN OF BOHEMIA to their Best Books of March lists. Over In the UK, SciFiNow asks, “Is Jaroslav Kalfar’s Spaceman of Bohemia the best book of 2017? Incredible… Spaceman Of Bohemia blends personal and political history with sci-fi elements to create something that feels both epic and grounded. It’s witty, it’s strange, it’s moving and it’s very, very difficult to put down.” Little, Brown published SPACEMAN OF BOHEMIA on March 7, 2017. For more information, please visit the following links:
