Pod senkom zmaja

The story is set in 2020. Two friends, arguing at a bar about the paranormal in literature and outside it, meet a stranger who pulls a manuscript from his jacket. It was written by Ana V., a young woman working in Novi Sad who, to escape the noise of the city, bought a run-down house in Vizić, a village on Fruška Gora. In the house she found the letters and diaries of Aleksandar, a former tenant, written in the spring of 1999 while NATO bombs were falling. Through these nested texts the novel asks whether parallel worlds can protect us from the blows of history, from catastrophe and from the reality of the bombing.
