Summary
Igor Marojević: A novel about drunkenness
"Here is a new, different, surprising Marojević. A novel written with impressive simplicity, confessional and without taboos, self-ironic." Filip David
"In May 2009, in a jazz club in Vračar, two friends are working out an editorial strategy for a literary magazine. After two or three shots of brandy, the situation got out of control, luckily an ambulance and the police arrived quickly. Thus begins a novel whose main character, a writer addicted to alcohol, promiscuous and prone to fights, tries to get out of the problem. He changes girlfriends, friends, doctors, jobs and bars, travels to Barcelona, Guadalajara, Ljubljana, to Dimitrovgrad and Nikšić, but in those places he sinks deeper and deeper, both because of his character and because of the general social climate, but the reader has hope until the last word of the writer. With this book, Igor Marojević has crossed the dangerous limit he reached with his previous writing, and he did not die." Vladan Matijević
"The new Marojević is still the good, old Marojević! This time, the master of storytelling about illness and identities is writing a story about a hero with internal combustion." Vule Žurić
"A novel about drunkenness stands proudly as a work that I can recommend completely sober." Dimitrije Vojnov
