Моја последња главобоља

In 1913 the critic Jovan Skerlić reviewed Isidora Sekulić's book Saputnici, a work of personal, intimate tone, and reproached her for publishing, in the year when more Serbian blood had been shed than ever, seventeen pages of phrases about a headache. That rebuke marked Sekulić's life and thinking, and it is the obsessive theme of this novel. Entering fully into her heroine, the author records Isidora's deathbed confession, a kind of imagined Socratic dialogue with an enigmatic poet as her interlocutor: an intimate, intellectual, moral and literary testament of a remarkable woman at the end of her life.
