About the Book

NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX FILM STARRING ADAM SANDLER AND CAREY MULLIGAN SHORTLISTED FOR THE ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD FOR SCIENCE FICTION 'An incredible experience . . . unforgettable' Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies 'An excellent debut' The Times 'Booming with vitality and originality' New York Times Set in the near-distant future, Spaceman follows a Czech astronaut as he launches into space to investigate a mysterious dust cloud covering Venus, a suicide mission sponsored by a proud nation. Suddenly a world celebrity, Jakub's marriage starts to fail as the weeks go by, and his sanity comes into question. After his mission is derailed he must make a violent decision that will force him to come to terms with his family's dark political past. An extraordinary vision of the endless human capacity to persist-and risk everything-in the name of love and home, by a startlingly talented young debut novelist.

About the Author :
Jaroslav Kalfar was born and raised in Prague, Czech Republic, and immigrated to the United States at the age of fifteen, speaking little to no English at that time but learning it by watching Cartoon Network. He graduated from University of Central Florida, where he received Frances R. Lefkowitz Scholarship, the Outstanding Fiction Writer award, and the Founder's Scholar Award for being the top graduate in the College of Arts and Humanities. He earned his M.F.A. at NYU, where he was a Goldwater Fellow and was one of the three nominees for the new NYU E.L. Doctorow Fellowship Award upon graduating. He is twenty-seven years old.

Review :
A superb debut - Literary Review Dizzyingly inventive, alternately lyrical, earthy, silly and sad. - TLS Reading Spaceman of Bohemia reminded me of the thrill of unearthing Everything is Illuminated from the mound of entries to the Guardian First Book Prize - Guardian A frenetically imaginative first effort, booming with vitality and originality . . . Kalfar's voice is distinct enough to leave tread marks . . . He has such a lively mind and so many ideas to explore . . . Kalfar has an exhilarating flair for imagery . . . He writes boisterously and mordantly - New York Times [An] excellent debut . . . This book could mark the launch of an astronomical career - The Times A joyfully intellectual book; the whole narrative could be read as a dream, as a clever paradigm in ways that resonate with David Mitchell. - Irish Times This wonderful debut is a fine addition to the tradition of eastern European emigre writers [Vladimir Nabokov and, more recently, Gary Shteyngart and Aleksandar Hemon] producing dazzling fiction in English, their second language. - Metro A hauntingly beautiful story of solitude, hope, family, and love that transcends, uplifts, carries the reader away. - Dinaw Mengestu, author of ALL OUR NAMES
