A review by veessa
Kush e solli Doruntinën by Ismail Kadare
5.0
Wonderful! Shadows, ghosts, myths, unanswered questions, unnamed characters, Kadare at his finest!
The main story is repeated so many times, yet the narrator reveals something new every time which adds a lot to the plot as a whole. The best thing about this work is that the details are so important and beautifully revealed that they stand out in a way that diverts your attention from the ‘big’ things for a moment. Also, the story is narrated almost unintentionally, as if the author was careless and negligent while writing it. That requires a different level of mastery and wit.
