In scattered, unmeasurable time, the lyrical hero, one of a generation already lost between worlds, discovers that he is in a year in which years did not exist, in a space still waiting to be discovered. The vanished streets of Novi Sad have to be named again, and books are people who, in a Chinese shopping centre, try to redraw the coordinates of what has become terra incognita, the Misty Continent of Novi Sad. His search for a promised city is a search for a lost identity, a dream in a disappearing city told through a postmodern realism with elements of cyberpunk and virtual reality.
