Description

Dragan Todorovic’s first book published in Language gained him a literary award for non-fiction and forecasts from visitors he was a novelist-in-the-building. The visitors were right, as his exemplary first story proves.Diary of Disrupted Times is fun, blazingly smart, periodically sensual and eventually heartbreaking, unfurling in the cliffhanger picture that starts the guide: a single exile, returning to Belgrade for the first time since he fled to Canada in the mid-nineties, is stuck on the only real link in to the town that hasn’t been ruined by NATO bombers as air-raid sirens sound. He must certanly be centered on getting off the link, but he appears not able to determine the chance. .
