Summary

Nada Topić: Morpho amathonte

Morpho amathonte is the name of a rare species of blue butterfly, which in Nada Topić's novel becomes a symbol of intimate search and contemplation. The personal stories of the characters, written in vivid poetic language, complement and intertwine to form a complex whole that mirrors the contemporary moment marked by migration, multiculturalism, but also by visible and invisible violence. The action of the novel begins in a small Parisian bar run by Jean and his mother Yordana, who has an unusual skill in setting broken and dislocated bones. Their home is open to people from the margins, especially girls who are dealing with physical and psychological trauma and who find temporary refuge there. One of them is Irena, a girl with a blue butterfly tattoo on her back in search of her older sister, whose last known address is Jordan's apartment. Their neighbor Simon, an old man whose mind is slowly being eroded by dementia and who inherited a large collection of butterflies from his father, is a daily visitor to the bar. In that collection, there is only one empty place under which there is a note with the inscription Morpho amathonte. Layered and poignant, Morpho amathonte does not shy away from the cruelty of life, traumatic experiences and moments in which identity seems as fragile as a butterfly's wings, but at the same time it delivers a powerful, liberating story of survival and compassion.
