'Flood in Bohemia' depicts Klaipeda in the last decade of the 20th century. The events and characters of the novel are created using the stories of real-life (and still living) artists published in newspapers and other written or visual sources.
The vibrant, crazy, bold and hopeful Klaipeda of that time experienced several tragic flood waves over the course of a decade. During the first flood described in the novel, the ship-restaurant 'Regata', which represented Soviet luxury, sank in 1993, thus symbolically marking the collapse of the Soviet empire. During the second flood, the most famous artist of the port city drowned in 1999. The flood acts as a deus ex machina in the novel - it appears when it is necessary to end the story in one way or another
