“Pryll captures all the international sexual tension and possibility that was 1990s Prague.” - Bonnie Ditlevsen, editor, Penduline Press.
"The Chimera of Prague" is not exactly a romance - it's a love story. It's the love one young man has for his adopted city. Joseph obsesses over an elusive Czech woman, and gets distracted by the kaleidoscope of women he seduces along the way. Ultimately, he's going to need to dig into his past, to remember where he came from and why he has a hole in his heart, to try and unearth a way to love himself again.
“I love the sting of it, the honest look at what holds most of us back in love.” - Bibiana Krall, author of Escape into the Blue.
The story-within-the-story uses geology, and numerous other subjects, to frame, and perhaps explain, the emotional content. An ode to Western New York, peppered with 80’s pop culture references, creating a tumultuous rendering of love lost.
“The Chimera of Prague embodies the raw magic of Prague felt by anyone who's been lucky enough to live there and survive the experience.” - Jason Mashak, poet, author of Salty as a Lip.
