I didn't know much about this one, didn't read any information on it, I don't even know who suggested it to me but I was positively surprised!
I like how chaotic the story is, it makes it feel more real, just like you'd remember some details about a story. The author also goes very meta at points, breaking the fourth wall and even describes some points about philosophy and history, as this story is set in the time of the Velvet Revolution. It's one of those books, that I want to read again just as I finish it.

The weird thing about it is, that I wouldn't know how to recommend this book to anyone. It's not that it's too hard to understand or too weird. It's somehow weird and "normal" at the same time. The protagonists and their stories are bizarre but seem so ordinary. Revolutions and big things are happening and people do very immoral things, but life goes on and they somehow deal with it in a very unexceptional way. That's just how life is and not is.
This is not a bad book, no, it's a superb book. If you don't know what to read next, just read this one. I think you will not regret it.
