Na osami blizu mora

On the island of Rab, and in places as far apart as Makueni, Battle Creek, Kraków, Graz, Zagreb and Rijeka, the novel follows a handful of local lads and small-town girls, Luka, Boris, Gavran, Škembo, Lena and Alka, from hormone-charged adolescence to the weary moments when they start to take stock. Rather than whole lives, it catches them in the key episodes where those lives take shape or break, while foreign women keep entering their stories: love, sex, grotesque comedy, sadness and melancholy.
