The EU Prize for Literature-winning writer, who counts himself among the so-called »overrun generation«, continues to tell stories about the trauma of war and the horror of peace in his volume of prose. Time is at the center of his texts – as an element, a dimension, a means, and an instrument. Here, the ticking of clocks, both real and unreal, links the poetic dystopias and war scenes into a fantastic-futuristic unity
