Mein Kampf

The stage of the novel is a single hospital room with a few immobile patients, a district informer, a writer and Aprcović, a thinker of general scope and grim destiny. From hospital days, memories and bitter experience, Basara builds a story of people joined by illness and exclusion into a kind of super-reality, where the whole world is a hospital and only those who understand it in time may stay healthy. The patients' recollections of a society's historical schizophrenia, its ideological and political experiments, open onto the genealogy of a nation trying to invent its past and its future at once, from the time of the Serbian uprisings to the present.
