Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Thursday, April 13 at 6:30 pm as they welcome Martin Vopěnka to the store to discuss and sign My Brother, the Messiah.

The Jewish-Czech author Martin Vopěnka is one of the leading voices in world literature, writing ‘with a deft and compellingly simple control of sentences that is reminiscent of both Kafka and Kundera’ (Choice).Martin Vopěnka was born in Prague in 1963. He views the contemporary world with caution, and his novels explore spirituality, the future, and the nature of humankind. He writes for the national daily paper MF Dnes and chairs the Czech Publishers’ Association. In 2016 his Nová Planeta (New Planet) won the country’s premier Golden Ribbon Award. My Brother the Messiah is a haunting, provocative look at our future.
