Onečejevalec

Onečejevalec
Afterword: Goran Vojnović

“In short, ‘Onečejevalec’ is a chronicle of perversions, deviancies, and transgressions that mysteriously coalesce around one character. It is a documentation of confusion, torn fragments caused by undefined aggression, violence, and disgust that disrupt the order of things. Many of our questions about the nature of good and evil, the limits of decency and indecency, and ultimately the nature of reality and the role of (meta)fiction itself are ‘attached’ to the persona of Theodor Baumann.” (from the foreword by Silvija Žnidar)

At first, puddles begin to appear in the most unexpected public places: around shops, by monuments, in libraries… Then, young women start to die in mysterious circumstances. The suicides remain unexplained, but it seems all paths lead to one enigmatic figure. Through the narrative, the image of a reclusive, anonymous nomad gradually emerges, one who repeatedly crosses the boundary of good taste. The story serves as both a mirror and critique of the present time, the era of the “new normal,” where only the excessive seems to be of interest. It can also be read as a cathartic account of hope and art triumphing over destruction.
