A writer who left Novi Sad keeps returning to the place where he grew up and where every friendship, love and piece of knowledge began: Yugoslav Vojvodina, a world now in ruins and condemned to oblivion, a burning South when seen from Budapest and a chilly North from the Adriatic. Through old chronicles, documents, legends and memoirs he asks what a homeland can mean, one that reaches from Native Americans to Sarajevo's Bosniaks and from Mohács to the Goli Otok prison camp.
