Latest title:
VILINO (2019)
Full of Eastern wisdom and mystical philosophy, this book is rich in psychological and finely sculpted male and female characters, which confirms the mastery of the author that the readers already know. It is like a therapy: the cheerful female protagonist contrasted with the city as a den of passions. Venko Andonovski, the famous Macedonian author marked this book as a fierce novel about the call of freedom and the fear of it. It is about voluntary slavery in “safe” marital waters, he said. Refined symbolism of details, precognitions dreams, seismographic tremors of the soul – this book is many novels perfectly fitted into one. Vilino is a medicine. It heals the soul of the eternal wanderers.
