In this ingenious, funny, and chilling novel (Publishers Weekly, starred review) from the author of Spaceman of Bohemia, two longlost siblings risk everything to save their mother from oblivion in an authoritarian nearfuture America obsessed with digital consciousness and eternal lifea story that packs a walloping punch (Esquire). When Adla discovers she has a terminal illness, she leaves behind her native Czech village for a chance at reuniting in America with Tereza, the daughter she gave up at birth, decades earlier. But the country Adla experienced as a young woman, when she eloped with a filmmaker and starred in his cult scifi movie, has changed entirely. In 2030, America is ruled by an authoritarian government increasingly closed off to the rest of the world.Tereza, the star researcher for VITA, a biotech company hellbent on discovering the key to immortality, is overjoyed to meet her mother, with whom she forms an instant, profound connection. But when their time together is cut short by shocking events, Tereza must uncover VITAs alarming activity in the wastelands of what was once Florida, and persuade the Czech brother shes never met to join her in this oddsdefying adventure.Narrated from the beyond by Adlas restless spirit, A Brief History of Living Forever is a highwire act of storytelling from a writer booming with vitality and originality, whose voice is distinct enough to leave tread marks (New York Times). By turns insightful, moving, and funny, the novel not only confirms Jaroslav Kalfars boundless powers of invention but also exults in the love between a mother and her daughter, which neither space nor time can sever.Kalfar is a wise, rapturous, and original writer . . . Eloquent, heartstunning, and rich in aweinspiring prose. San Francisco ChronicleRelentlessly inventive . . . His writing has the same hyperactivity and fidgety contempt for generic boundaries as that of the young Safran Foer. The Guardian
