Angel Station, Paperback by Topol, Jachym; Zucker, Alex (TRN), ISBN 1943150125, ISBN-13 9781943150120, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "Angel Station takes its title from the bustling Metro stop in the Prague district of Smâichov. Until the gentrification of the late 1990s, it was a rough-and-tumble, working-class neighborhood with a sizeable Roma and Vietnamese population. Topol's novel, in sparse yet poetic language--agilely brought into English by the author's longtime translator Alex Zucker--weaves together the brutal and disturbing fates of an addict, a shopkeeper, and a religious fanatic as they each follow the path they hope willlead them to serenity: drugs, money, and faith."--
