Summary
Vedrana Rudan: The Man in the Throat
The eleventh book and also the seventh novel by Vedrana Rudan, The Man in the Throat, presents this provocative writer in her most mature edition to date. Through the main character's relationship with several different men, Vedrana Rudan opens several thematic frameworks in her latest work without a hair on her tongue, which she had not touched before in her prose. Beneath the apparent, external layer of the narration, a sharp impression of the impossibility of communication is visible, of the difficulties we face in our efforts to reach the ideal of true closeness between two people, of how even in the closest relationships we manage to achieve in life, we are still doomed to remain trapped in ourselves until the end.
The storytelling is fast, witty, lucid; the plot of the novel is funny and sad at the same time. It's one of those books that won't let you put it down and will bring you to tears in different ways.
