Summary
Nada Gašić: Water, Spiderweb
"The climax at the end, with several extremely powerful scenes of the destruction of one person's distraught and fragile humanity, can be compared to the films of Lars von Trier in terms of the amount of suffering, callousness and humiliation of oneself and others." Croatian National Radio
With water, a spider's web, Nada Gašić strengthens her reputation as an enchanting author and extraordinary chronicler of the city she calls home: Zagreb, Croatia. This literary noir is set in motion by the historical flood of the Sava River in 1964 and spans the lives and generations of an eccentric group of marginalized characters, from a mentally ill man who channels the Virgin Mary to three sisters cast out of a distorted version of the Cinderella fairy tale. This novel is not so much about the crimes committed, but about the questions of why these crimes were committed, on an individual and social level.
By putting together clues that may or may not answer these questions, Gašić makes it clear that we are responsible for the circumstances.
