Plot introduction

In a Bohemian church in 1948 an apparent miracle is denounced as a hoax by the Communist party. Danny Smiricky (the hero of Škvorecký's 1977 novel The Engineer of Human Souls who also appeared in the previous novel "The Cowards")^[4] was present at the church but slept through the event. Twenty years later the case is re-examined during the Prague Spring.^[3]
