Have you ever finished reading a novel and wanted it not to end? But be careful, we don't mean that you want to extend the stories of your heroes to infinity, that you want to see them in parallel scenarios, that you want to combine their fates in different ways, let's leave this godlike intention to the realm of fan fiction. In our seminar, we will choose a novel (and here, of course, it depends on how we define it, so it may happen that we choose The Brothers Karamazov, Twilight, Being and Time, or some book from the Old Testament), we will find seams in it, we will tear them apart, into the resulting in the gap we insert "dispensable chapters," to borrow the title used by Cortázar, and sew the book back together. What will be in the expendable chapters? That depends on you participants. Everyone will propose their own chapter for each seam (there will be roughly as many as there are seminars). But one more note, we will vote on the selected chapters, it will be necessary to defend why yours is a necessary and expendable chapter. The space is indeed inflatable, but not unlimited, we will relentlessly select and reject chapters. Are you looking forward to adding something to your favorite book? So which novel are we going to slice and dice? NB: we owe this idea to Jitka Cardová, who came up with it sometime in 2006, when we cut "Událost ve zdviži" by Věra Linhartová
