Seeing People Off
Author(s): Jana Benova
Novel | Fiction Reductions | Translated fiction | Eastern Europe
There is a liveliness and effervescence to Jana Benov�’s prose that is magnetic. Whether addressing the loneliness of relationships or the effectiveness of rat poison, her voice and observations call to mind the verve and sophistication of Renata Adler or Jenny Offill, while remaining utterly singular.
Seeing People Off follows Elza and Ian, a young couple living in a humongous apartment complex outside Bratislava where the walls play music and talk, and time is immaterial.
Drawing on her memories, everyday interactions, observations of post-socialist realities, and Elza’s attraction to actor, Kalisto Tanzi,Seeing People Off is a kaleidoscopic, poetic, and deeply funny portrait of a relationship.
