The characters, depicted as psychological profiles, are portrayed in a humorous-satirical way with their peculiarities bordering on uncanny. The novel has a specific form consisting of the description of dreams, thoughts and dialogues from which it can be inferred what plays out emotionally inside of them. Elements of phantasy is inherent to my writing. Amsterdam served as an interesting international background for waking up mythic origins as people are removed from their original environment of conditioning.

The way characters meet seems accidental. However, in the framework of the story, it is visible that their encounters are related to what is collectively carried inside, such as the heritage of old Yugoslavia. If one dares to go even further, there is the connection to Old Europe, the time when patriarchy had not yet dominated.

"Beyond The Mirror"

The story "Beyond the Mirror" is about four people from Ex-Yugoslavia countries who meet in Amsterdam. Rather than being a typical "men versus women" romantic account, they interact in a humorous way while coming to realizations about life beyond the traditional ways of living and perceiving.

It is a somewhat light philosophical piece, expressed through humour, dialogues and experiences at interesting and often unusual places, featuring dream work and surrealistic elements as a means to altered states of perception peculiar to the characters. Intermingling of Dutch and Balkan cultural flavours adds to the overall experience of this storytelling. Even though the story is set in this modern time and using these particular backgrounds it bears a universal timeless message.

The novel is directed towards lovers of "hidden messages discovery" adventures. Like in a dream, not a single detail is accidental. Due to its form, it provides a unique reading experience, raising curiosity about what is unfolding next. It is entertaining, spurring to laughter, perhaps in the way one would not expect, while offering a new way of looking at our collective Balkan heritage.
