Kurja fizika

The final part of an autobiographical trilogy, which can also be read on its own. Growing up in his native village of Dolenci, Fêrek experiences the world more and more intensely and is full of new questions: can there be more than one truth, why can some things be said at home but not at school, is Yugoslavia really the finest country in the world, and what will astronauts find on the Moon? His biggest earthly question comes down to the word house, and the most mysterious new world for him is the planet Love. Will his father and mother manage to build a house, will the move be luck or misfortune, and will his first great love as a first-year pupil be returned? Around these, the novel brings to life village people, bureaucracy and home building in old Yugoslavia, and mothers leaving to work abroad.
