Andreas Ban, a psychologist who does not psychologize anymore and a writer who no longer writes, lives alone in a coastal town in Croatia. He sifts through the remnants of his life--his research, books, photographs--remembering old lovers and friends, the events of WWII, and the breakup of Yugoslavia. Ban's memories of Belgrade, Amsterdam, and Toronto alternate with meditations on the mental faculties of rats, a depressed arctic fox, and the agelessness of lobsters. He tries to push the past away, to "land on a little island of time in which tomorrow does not exist, in which yesterday is buried." Drndic leafs through the horrors of history with a cold unflinching wit. "The past is riddled with holes," she writes. "Souvenirs can't help here."-- $c Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a Memory $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Yugoslavia $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Memory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01015913 651 7 $a Yugoslavia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01279262 650 7 $a FICTION / Cultural Heritage. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Visionary & Metaphysical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / Baltic States. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Jewish. $2 bisacsh 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Hawkesworth, Celia, $d 1942- $e translator. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017023135.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006111959.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20181005010608.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171205012605.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26F30660D98A11E78F813B5397128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
