Description
Andreas Ban's life is a collection of memories and remnants, scattered across his coastal home in Croatia. His body weakens with each passing day, forcing him to sift through the past: old lovers, friends, and the tragedies of World War II. As he navigates the fragments of his life, Ban's thoughts turn to the nature of time itself, the fragility of human existence, and the enduring power of memory. In this poignant and unflinching exploration, Daša Drndić delves into the complexities of history, revealing the ways in which the past continues to haunt us. With a keen eye for detail, she exposes the holes that ravage our understanding of the world, leaving only souvenirs as reminders of what has been lost. Through Ban's story, Drndić masterfully weaves together themes of mortality, identity, and the human condition, creating a deeply unsettling yet profoundly moving portrait of life in the twilight years.
