Summary
Goran Milašinović: The Case of Vinča
The first novel about Serbian Chernobyl.
From the cover:
"Vinča, October 15, 1958. In the afternoon, the central alarm for the detection of elevated radioactive radiation sounded. A group of young scientists smelled ozone while conducting a scientific experiment... Soon they will all fall ill with radiation sickness for which, apparently, there is no cure. All that remains is to carry out the world's first experimental human bone marrow transplants at the Curie Institute in Paris. Of course, if there were enough Parisians who would risk their lives trying to help complete strangers...
The fates of patients, the love of a patient and a French doctor, and the formation of friendships take place far from the public eye, which is also contributed to by political pressure.
After a decade of avoiding the topic of radiation in Vinča, Goran Milašinović succeeded effectively to tell the story of Serbian Chernobyl in a lot of detail."
