Michal Hvorecky - The life of a rent boy between Bratislava and Davos (Slovakia)
The East is the new West! In this post-Cold War novel, "Eskorta", Michal Hvorecky writes about an unemployed actor in Bratislava who comes into contact with the glitzy world of turbo-capitalism by becoming a prostitute for rich managers’ wives. An ironic and grotesque novel about new Europe and the excesses of globalisation.
