Grossman Publishers

From the microscopic to the universal, from the mundane to the extraordinary, Shedding Life is a delight for thoughtful readers. One of Eastern Europe s most important literary figures as well as a world-class immunologist, Holub, a Czech, is a knowledgeable, wry companion in exploring topics ranging from cloning to viruses to scientific plagiarism as well as the daily peculiarities of life in the last days of communism. He focuses on the intersection of the scientific world with everyday life, pointing out the absurd as well as the profound, whether in the analysis of the mysteries of our universe or the often surreal details of life & politics in Prague.

Vanishing Lung Syndrome

Vanishing Lung Syndrome confirms Holub's special status as one of Europe's leading poets and as a rare mediator between scientific and literary modes of discourse. This book is darkly witty and mordantly accurate; it documents, among other things, the ignorance, folly and brutality abroad in our world. But it also brims with tenderness, humor, and occasional gleams of hope.

By the time of his death in 1998, Miroslav Holub had become one of the most widely acclaimed poets on the planet.
