This
is an extremely creative and unusual book.
We follow the meandering thoughts and imaginings of a market trader in
Belgrade. He poses many deeply
philosophical questions on life – his life and others, and life in general, as
he strives to be a man of his time and attempts to conjure up a unique moment
in his life.
I
was delighted to see and have the chance to read such an amazingly different
book. I cannot praise the author too
highly for daring to write a book that is so far removed from the usual genres.
This book is certainly not for everyone,
as it is entirely different from other fiction or non-fiction writing. It will be interesting to those who think
philosophically, who ask and try to answer questions regarding justice and
life, and who are interested in psychology.
I found this work to be amazing

I was enthralled by this book.
One could almost say mesmerised from beginning to end. The subject matter was deeply engrossing and
thought-provoking, and the writing a pure delight. It is rare to find in modern literature a
piece of work that flows along as smoothly and beautifully as this, inciting
one to taste and savour every line.
To concentrate a whole book around the workings of the inner mind
of but one man, is a huge risk to take,
but this author succeeded in producing a superbly written, thought-provoking,
and cleverly executed piece of writing beyond anything I have come across since
the likes of Hardy and Dostoyevsky. For
me this book was an absolute joy to read.
