Štrigun

Štrigun

Davor Dužman

Štrigun is an Istrian elf, first among equals in a secret group of fork-bearers, heirs to a thousand-year-old tradition. He is in a whirlwind of events between intelligence officers, painters, detectives and psychics, and the solstice is approaching...

Basically a detective novel, but with also important fantasy, romance and political-thriller elements. The first part of the plot takes place in the mid-1980s, when an intelligence officer of the former State Security Service in Pula, "chasing" a case, stumbles upon the trail of something much bigger. The party's careerism and the bureaucratism of his bosses make it impossible for him to conduct an official investigation, but he nevertheless carries it out under the guise of the job assigned to him as a punishment: "surveillance" of the Istrian clergy. According to the well-known toponyms of Pazinština and Bujština, the investigation progresses little by little, even though it stretches for years, even beyond the time-historical threshold of the breakup of Yugoslavia, and thus all the "services" and systems that made up the protagonist's everyday world.
