The Ghosts of Prague.

Helen Oyeyemi's novel "Parasol Against the Axe" is a complex and playful exploration of storytelling, cities, and the relationship between books and readers. The novel follows three women on a bachelorette party in Prague, where they encounter various spirits and mythical figures. The narrative is intertwined with a book within the book called "Paradoxical Undressing," which offers different stories and perspectives to different readers. Oyeyemi's novel resists easy interpretation and embraces ambiguity, inviting readers to engage with the text on their own terms. [Extracted from the article]
