ADVICE

Use The Table To Travel Prague

  • Use the listed locations to map each story and explore Prague via Google Maps while you read.
ADVICE

Read Short Stories Out Of Order

  • Treat short story collections non-linearly: pick individual pieces by title instead of reading front-to-back.
  • Jumping around lets you enjoy each story on its own terms and improves the reading experience.
