Publikace představuje a shrnuje dílo sochaře Zdeňka J. Preclíka (*1949). Vedle Vladimíra a Mojmíra Preclíka jde o posledního z trojice českých sochařů nesoucích toto známé umělecké příjmení. Posledního, kterému chybělo zhodnocení. Pateticky lze zvolat - to nejlepší nakonec! Preclíkovy naprosto originální realizace z různých materiálů umělce řadí k významným autorům české postmoderny.

Vůbec nečekal, že ta asistentka, která mu v zahraničí na dálku pomáhala, je nádherné, nevinně provokativní – naprosto nesnesitelné – stvoření, se kterým se teď bude muset vídat každý den.
