This is two novellas that seem independent until towards the end of the second novella when the tales do link. I loved ‘Artur and Isabella’, the first novella. Drndić’s writing is compelling. The second novella, ‘Pupi’, was extremely confusing. Printz (Pupi) was clearly having non-neuro-sensical moments and experiencing post-WWII hangover. All in all I think I may have missed some bigger meaning here but I know I feel sad and confused for all (except probably Herzog and his wife).
