Zoja Strenja-Šolaja: U vrtložina

The narrator of this novel is a young man at a turning point in a country that has experienced war. He tells a story into which - through letters, diary entries, phantasms - a series of human destinies is poured. The story is set in contemporary Croatian reality. It begins with the thinking of the main character, Roman, about the omnipotence of the banking system that threatens his existence and the memory of the days of great ambitions and expectations. All that remained of those expectations was a feeling of shame. The father suffers from Alzheimer's, the mother is worried about her sick husband and her son, who was pressured by the bank, but also about her daughter, who, after the suicide of her husband, a volunteer of the Homeland War, indulged in drinking. Roman's wife is working on their relocation to Australia, frustrated by the burdensome circumstances of everyday life, and he perceives this as callousness. All of their individual weaknesses intertwine and meet in a family reunion that tries to find ways out of their problems. The ending is not naively optimistic: non-answers and doubts remain. U vrtložina is a family novel that opens up existential themes of the fragility of human beings, alienation, loneliness, the search for meaning...
