ANOMALY
by Andrej Nikolaidis
translated from Montenegrin by Will Firth
New Year’s Eve. The last day of the last year of human existence.
A high-ranking minister criss-crosses the city with blood on his hands, a dying necrophile attempts to go clean before God, and a traumatized nurse is pressured into keeping a powerful secret. With undisguised glee, a nameless narrator unravels these twisted tales of moral turmoil, all of which are brought to an abrupt close by a cataclysmic collision of time and space. What will remain on New Year’s Day?
An exhilarating, provocative carnival of a novel, from one of Europe’s most distinctive literary voices.
