Stanje sumraka

The closing book of the Tabu trilogy ties together the fates of characters from the first two novels and finishes the tragic story of Viktor Tausk, the forgotten writer, lawyer and pioneer of psychoanalysis, Freud's pupil and lover of Lou Andreas-Salomé, whose family had ties to Zagreb. Tausk himself appears least of all here: the novel follows people who stood at the margins of the first book and carries his influence into the present, a twilight age that the author sees as a third world war fought without weapons. Mixing real people and events with fiction, it asks how far our thoughts are really our own, and whether we want to be an army of happy, brainwashed people.
