Description:
"Smrtni ishod atletskih povreda - roman apsolutne iskrenosti. Eva je snažna, nezavisna žena. Eva je žena koja voli. Eva je žena koja počinje da sumnja u sebe. Eva je žena koja razume i nalazi opravdanja. Eva je žena koja ćuti i krije modrice. A drugi ništa ne primećuju ili okreću glavu.

Description:
"The Attic" is Danilo Kis's first novel. Written in 1960, published in 1962, and set in contemporary Belgrade, it explores the relationship of a young man, known only as Orpheus, to the art of writing; it also tracks his relationship with a colorful cast of characters with nicknames such as Eurydice, Mary Magdalene, Tam-Tam, and Billy Wise Ass. Rich with references to music, painting, philosophy, and gastronomy, this bohemian "Bildungsroman" is a laboratory of technique and style for the young Kis--at once a depiction of life in literary Belgrade, a register of stylistic devices and themes tha... continue
