And the last stories

Twenty-one tales suspended between Borges's narrative complexity and raw realism. Stories within stories, contemporary fables, fragments of a novel that speak with tenderness and irony about the personal fate of the author and the fate of an entire people. The soul of a pig just slaughtered, a fortune teller who sees the past from his left eye and the future from his right, an impossible television broadcast. Destinies touch and interact in a world, the Balkans, that has always been balanced between reality and fantasy, between yesterday and today, between everyday life and literature.
