The action of the novel “The Necklace of the Madonna” takes place in a prison hospital during the bombing of Serbia. The story of each of the four characters is a story of private life against the backdrop of the events of the late 20th century, a story of literary polemics between generations. Using unique “filters” of humor and irony, the author seeks to overcome local, national and global myths and traumas, and encourage the reader to reflect on the meaning of form in a world that is rapidly changing its shape.
