Marko Vignjevic | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Amidst the bustling activity of the Kalenich Market in Belgrade a young man wanders alone and isolated in his soul as he battles in his search to justify his miserable existence. Lacking in self-worth, disillusioned and self-deprecating, the protagonist digs deep into his psyche in order to find the answers to his many imaginary failings; the while taking the reader back with him as memories surface and inner conflicts and mental suffering are revealed. Extremely well written, the inner battles of the 'wretch' are very cleverly construed to hold the attention of the reader enthralled and to elicit no small degree of empathic reaction. Haunting, and at times deeply moving, this work of Marko Vignjevic is reminiscent in style and content of certain of the old literary classics, and cannot fail to be appreciated by even the most discerning of readers
