Author Description

"Pawel Kohoutek, veterinarian and womanizer, looks out the window one morning to see his mistress approaching his house. That's bad. She is hauling her suitcase (containing her books) and her backpack (containing everything else she owns). That's worse. So Kohoutek does the only thing he can: He hides his current woman in the attic of the family slaughterhouse.". "Farce ensues as Kohoutek attempts to hide the woman from his eccentric family, their lodgers, and various offbeat visitors. The woman, expecting love and children and a future, does not make things easy. As he frantically tries to keep her a secret, Kohoutek's memories - mostly involuntary and of questionable accuracy - reveal in hilarious detail the life and crises of a middle-class libertine and the forces that created him."--BOOK JACKET.
