Opatija Svetog Vartolomeja

Miloš keeps travelling, from the Netherlands through France and Italy to Greece, and at last to Serbia and the Sretenje monastery in the Ovčar gorge. At every stop he sheds another layer of an identity that others projected onto him, as Saint Bartholomew, the flayed apostle, carries his own skin over his arm. Even when he is gone, Ruther van den Berg, the Dutch lawyer who loves him with exactness, pulls at him like gravity, and the novel weighs Dutch Calvinist precision against the South's way of being in the world, asking how much of himself a person can give away.
