I don't like people who get out of everything like earthworms. No scars, no scratches. Comedians.
لم استصيغ طريقة دانيلو كيس في الكتابة .. طريقة غير متناسقة وقصه غير مترابطه وحتي آخر كلمه لم افهم الهدف منها ولا سبب كتابتها او حتي دور البطل في الرواية
Incoherent completely and hard to understand. I didn't understand this messy way of writing a novel.
The narrator is Orpheus and he lives in a horrible Attic.
He plays his lute and also a stargazer. He falls in love with a woman and he named her Eurydice and thought about her all the time although she didn't do the same.
Orpheus is a weird and unstable character that was hard to get its perspectives.
He got a friend called Billy Wiseass or Igor as Orpheus calls him.
The translation was the worst ever. He didn't even try to translate the french, German, and Serbian languages and I had to skip many pages without knowing anything about what happened in them.
رواية غريبة غير مفهومة وشخصية اورفيوس عجيبه وفوضويه جدا
الترجمة الانجليزية من أسوأ ما يكون ولا يوجد ترجمه عربيه
لم استمتع بالرواية ابدا ولا ارشحها لمن يريد ان يجرب الادب الصربي لأول مرة

Let's get this straight, stories about bohemians and their weird ways to combat boredom are far from my niche in most cases. Not in this one, though. This short story is genuinely funny in a somewhat estranged way and has an interesting, paradoxical humour about it. It reminds of films such as 'He died with a felafel in his hand' (I'm possibly biased after seeing Kis's face, though!) and contains many a literary / cultural reference, including from 'The Magic Mountain' which is an all-time favourite of mine (read entirely last year after a false start in 2014, but anyways). A nice initiation to an author by whom I could read more. Also, first Serbian [Yugoslavian at that time, but specifically Serbian] book ever read.

після кулака в лице головному герою (за деякі речі), я аплодую, бо це був — браво — хороший театр абсурду.
дивна книга. дуже дивна книга, іноді дуже важко йшло і дратувало.
[прочитала десь, що треба бути у юному віці, щоб писати чи читати такий твір — згодна]
