In this part I have decided to show you a segment from my recently published novel, ‘The Unknown Person’. The reviewers who recommended this novel to be published agree that it is my most mature prose work. Also, they agree that when one reads the novel through, he is not sure whether the topic of the novel is the fall of Serbia and Yugoslavia in the last decade of the 20th century, or if it is the diary of the dead man, or if it is the fiction about the magic, or a book about the unwritten book.

In any case, it is the novel which was the hardest for me to write and it took me a very long time. What was so difficult about it? Well, in every segment of the novel there was a threat to go for the poetics and atmosphere of one of the following writers: Kafka, Camus, Pilnyak, Chekhov, Coleho Castaneda, Dostoevsky

and so on. It was very difficult to resist, but I believe I did it. I also think that this novel offers several levels for reading; every time it can be read from a different angle or pattern. But it is not its main virtue (although the critics emphasize this). The main virtue of this novel should be found by the readers themselves.
