Keeping Bedlam At Bay In The Prague Cafe by M Henderson Ellis
Protagonist John Shirting, an expat in a Prague undergoing cultural revolution in the 1990s, is sure to take his place as one of the most memorable characters in contemporary fiction. A former barista from Chicago, he acts as a catalyst and wild guide to a city rushing headlong into rampant capitalism. Featuring expats and natives to Prague, this debut novel succeeds in capturing the feel of an eclectic city in a piece of entertaining contemporary literature that will appeal to a wide range of fiction readers.
M. Henderson Ellis lived in Prague for two years in the first half of the 1990s and there taught English and tended bar. A Chicago-area native and a graduate of Bennington College, he has lived in Budapest, Hungary, since 2001, where in 2004 he co-founded the English-language literary review Pilvax, which he edits to this day. He makes his living as a writer and freelance editor at Wordpillediting.com.
