    About this ebook

    Mother, grandmother, matriarch. In the 1970’s communist Prague, Jarka’s family yielded to her firm hand, with which she steered them through the militaristic and charged Cold War climate.

    Except for her son-in-law, super-genius.

    After an unexpected explosion rocked the house, Jarka decided upon her son-in-law’s fate: disarmament, sudden and covert. She had to get rid of everything that went BOOM without getting caught, by him or by the authorities.

    If you like historical fiction from behind the Iron Curtain, you’ll love the riveting suspense of “Just Blow It Up,” another hilarious tale from the Cancelled Czech Files.

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.

It’s not uncommon to go out, buy a gun and ammo, and pay a range fee. Whole hours can be spent making holes in a paper target while obsessing about things like spread and trigger pull and whether the shooter is mashing his or her finger on the trigger, causing the round to veer toward the seven o’clock edge of the target.

      Gun ownership in the old country had been highly restricted in comparison. 

      The party in power had guns, the opposition else didn’t.

      Well, this had been, at least, the official theory. The reality was slightly different. As the wars of the world kept crashing over such a little, seemingly insignificant nation in huge, crested waves of gun-powered violence, people began to take precautions. They figured another one will come sooner or later, and being sensible, they did their best
