Rudolf Sloboda's first novel��written��and published after the Velvet Revolution. In��Blood��(1991), the author uses a backdrop of memories from the past years��to depict the events that had led to the protests of November 1989. The novel - just like��Sloboda's other books - is basically��built upon his own life experiences. A bold��narrative style is another characteristic of his prose. The��main motifs of the book rest on love, jealousy, eroticism, sexual relations as well as on loneliness and searching for the meaning of life.��
