Семољ гора

The novel is made of 878 short pieces, set out in the order of the alphabet, each devoted to an unusual, colourful or long-abandoned word drawn from the narrator's memory of the language. A piece may be a realistic or a fantastic story, a first-person recollection, a dictionary-like explanation, a dialogue or a poetic scene. Out of these fragments grows the outline of a single story about a mountain region and its people, with both everyday and mythic dimensions, and an attempt to keep in words a beauty that has vanished from life.
