Dragan Velikić

Danteov trg

Wie schon in Velikićs früheren Romanen verweben die Helden analoge und oft miteinander verwobene Schicksale frustrierter mitteleuropäischer Bürger und Intellektueller; die Topographie ist sehr vielfältig, aber dennoch wiedererkennbar.

Hamsin 51

The novel Hamsin 51 (1993) is one of Dragan Velikić's early highlights – a spectacular family saga and anti-war work written in the midst of the breakup of Yugoslavia, with an ending that will take place three decades later – in 2022.

Perhaps the greatest virtue of Velikić's writing, which culminated in this novel, is his extraordinarily refined feeling for life's details, which he depicts and evokes with an almost shamanic power of materialization.
