Minevski believes that literary has no commitment to the truth. It has his own truth that does not depend on any facts. Or, more precisely, the novel has its own facts, according to which its veracity can be determined.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story takes place on two river banks, while two young snipers holding at gunpoint fall in love with each other. Their love is strange, wonderful and unbelievable, because it is happening through the optical sights of snipers and lasts only as long as one and the other bullet fly to one or to the other bank of the river. The only thing that marks the left or right bank of the river, is the shadow of the mosque, or the shadow of the church. The novel is an exciting story about life and death, the meaning and the meaninglessness of war, love and hatred, the very act of victory or defeat.
