Summary

Vladimir Tebašević: The Fallacy of Saint Sebastian

Winner of the Nino Prize.

Children who cry alone carry a hope heavier than a whale.

Before becoming a saint, Saint Sebastian was the leader of the Praetorian Guard that persecuted Christians. As a soldier, when he could, he saved them from certain death. But when he could not, he encouraged them to suffer for Christianity, hiding in his heart the hope that the faith would survive and strengthen precisely through the sacrifice he secretly encouraged them to make.

Taking the story of Saint Sebastian as a subtext, Vladimir Tabašević in his new novel problematizes the phenomenon of sacrifice and misconceptions about it. Delusions about us "doing good", delusions about our righteous pursuits, delusions we often hold others in so that our "salvation missions" will have an "audience". Playing with characters who see themselves as righteous and as victims, the author writes a story about the war of the 1990s in the territory of the former Yugoslavia, but also a story about contemporary delusions in which memories are constantly transformed.

Written in unrestrained and playful language, the novel St. Sebastian's Delusion will make you think before you say that you are "good" and that you "wanted the best".
