Summary
Fedor Marjanović: The Faceless Hero
"What is it that holds together Marjanović's heroes and his stories in this unusual and brave first book? To begin with, this could be part of the answer - strangeness, a strange eclecticism that combines the incompatible and draws us into a world that walks along the edges of the grotesque, the borders of the imaginary and the real that alternate in unexpected turns and remind us of the reality we live in. Miracles are possible and look instead of are great and wonderful, they are mostly banal. These are all things that the author sovereignly rules and pushes the reader into, constantly eluding him of refuge and pushing him into pain, into laughter on the edge of discomfort, into discomfort, into stumbling, into the miracle of creation and the miracle of reality that are lightly mixed."
