Nečakaná návšteva


Súbor krátkych próz o neobyčajných stretnutiach dôchodcu Juska Po odchode do dôchodku Jusko objavuje nový život. Ako mu predpovedala manželka Mária, chvíľu potrvá, kým sa stane dôchodcom. Mnohí kvázi priatelia, ktorí sa k nemu hlásili v časoch, kedy šéfoval, ho už nepotrebujú. Uvedomuje si známu pravdu, že priateľov môže zrátať na prstoch jednej ruky. O slovo sa hlásia aj choroby a Juskovou najlepšou prevenciou sú prechádzky. Pri tom všetkom sa snaží o svojrázny humor a videnie a uchováva si originálny odstup. Aj keď je čas strávený na zaslúženom odpočinku na prvý pohľad pokojný, Juskove stretnutia majú pečať neobyčajnosti. Práve vďaka ním prežíva zmysluplný život aj v období, ktorí mnohí jeho rovesníci považujú za stratený. S väčšinou smrteľníkov si uvedomuje, že veľké a dramatické udalosti sa dostávajú na plátna kín vo filmoch, nám ostatným ostáva prežiť život v každodenných, no určite nie všedných premenách času, niekedy trochu okorenených literárnou fikciou.
