  <description><![CDATA[Set in a Central Europe rapidly fragmenting after the fall of communism, <em>Men in Space</em> follows a cast of dissolute Bohemians, political refugees, football referees, deaf police agents, assassins, and stranded astronauts as they chase a stolen icon painting from Sofia to Prague and beyond. The icon&#8217;s melancholy orbit is reflected in the various characters&#8217; ellipses and near misses as they career vertiginously through all kinds of space: physical, political, emotional, and metaphysical. What emerges is a vision of humanity adrift in history, and a world in a state of disintegration.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;<p>Set in a Central Europe rapidly fragmenting after the fall of communism, <em>Men in Space</em> follows a cast of dissolute Bohemians, political refugees, football referees, deaf police agents, assassins, and stranded astronauts as they chase a stolen icon painting from Sofia to Prague and beyond. The icon&#8217;s melancholy orbit is reflected in the various characters&#8217; ellipses and near misses as they career vertiginously through all kinds of space: physical, political, emotional, and metaphysical. What emerges is a vision of humanity adrift in history, and a world in a state of disintegration.</p>&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;<p>Set in a Central Europe rapidly fragmenting after the fall of communism, <em>Men in Space</em> follows a cast of dissolute Bohemians, political refugees, football referees, deaf police agents, assassins, and stranded astronauts as they chase a stolen icon painting from Sofia to Prague and beyond. The icon&#8217;s melancholy orbit is reflected in the various characters&#8217; ellipses and near misses as they career vertiginously through all kinds of space: physical, political, emotional, and metaphysical. What emerges is a vision of humanity adrift in history, and a world in a state of disintegration.</p>&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
