Diary of Interrupted Days
Dragan Todorovic’s first book written in English won him a literary prize for non-fiction and predictions from readers that he was a novelist-in-the-making. The readers were right, as his exceptional first novel proves.

He should be focused on getting off the bridge, but he seems unable to calculate the risk . . .
