Berlinsko okno

The narrator travels to present-day Berlin, sent by an NGO to research and write down the stories of those who escaped the Balkan wars as far as Germany. What opens up to him instead comes through long conversations with his landlord, Viktor Greber, an elderly gentleman from the former East Berlin, and through the story of Iza Fermeren, a German artist whose work undermined the system. Moving between the new Germany, the socialist past and the wars at home, the novel looks for the ghosts of the Balkans in a city that has its own.
