Passed Away: The Life on the Last Way

By Jana Dohnalova

It is book about the process of destruction. The cemetery is a place where it is possible to watch the process of destruction like a movie through the peephole of a nickelodeon. In the cemetery, the process of destruction comes into being and when we take a photo herefor example, of memorials or flowerswe flick through these photos, starting from fresh flowers and finishing with dead stalks inside the vase. Browsing, through these pictures quickly, suddenly we see a movie, a movie of destruction.

The cemetery is a place where the process of destruction is absolute; here is the destruction of everything, not only the human body, but of absolutely everything that is in the cemetery at that time. Here everything ispassed away.
What is destruction? Everything old has been destroyed so something new can start. Destruction is a condition for a beginning to start, and the first without the second is not possible. Can two processes change everything around, starting the basic cycle of emotional reactionsadness and happiness?
Nobody is indifferent to the process of destruction. The process starts a lot of emotional reactions such as crying and anger and belief, because we dont want to reconcile ourselves to it, but also we dont have a lot of power to fight it.

Jana Dohnalova

Jana Dohnalova was born on April 7, 1975, in a small village in Czechoslovakia and grew up separate from modern technology, current information, and even other people as she lived with only her family. At that time, she started creating her first stories. When she was twenty, she made a decision to become a writer and started to study creative writing at university. That was a big deal for her. First, she abandoned the village where she had been born and started a new life in the capital, Prague. Second, her family did not want to accept her decision to become a writer. When she finished university, it was so difficult to find a job as a writer that she changed workplaces many times. She was a shop assistant, waitress, worker for an archaeology company. When she went in 2008 to London, she studied English. In the meanwhile, she published four books in Czech. This is the first book she has written in English.
