The author of the book is Czech living in America Jakub Kalfář. He said of his book: “Cosmonaut from Bohemia I had to write for two reasons: firstly, because of my fascination with loneliness, I wanted to write a story about the loneliest person in the world, and find out if there was any hope for such a person to come back.
