Martin Vopenka's novel, The Back of Beyond-Travels with Benjamin, is the story of a middle-aged man, who-despite his professional success and affluence-lacks fulfillment. After the tragic death of his wife, he is left alone with his eight-year-old son and quickly realizes that if he wants to succeed in the role of single parent that has suddenly been thrust upon him, he has to change fundamentally. So, he takes his son and sets out on a journey to what he dubs the Back of Beyond. With its unique blend of sensitive and suggestive language this book is a stylistic gem, rendered in seamless translation and appearing here for the first time in English.
