«Canto en medio de la noche» is the contemporary novel by Jirí Kratochvil, published by Anaya & Mario Muchnik in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
In communist Czechoslovakia, the novel interweaves two searches for fathers: a natural son conceived in 1945 and a boy whose father emigrated grow up in Brno. A Kafkaesque power watches over them as the country's history bursts into their lives, in a narrative combining the fantastic and the real, the comic and the tragic, the mythical and the grotesque.
The translation from Czech is by Clara Janés and Jana Stancel; the original title is «Uprostřed nocí zpěv». It belongs to the Analectas collection.
For readers of contemporary Czech fiction and fiction with a historical backdrop.
