One of the main characters of the book is Mr. Belgrade—the birthplace of the world-famous writer Milorad Pavic (born 1929). The author leads the reader through streets full of mysterious secrets and tells an elegant story of lovers’ separation (“Little Night Romance”) and their joining together (“A Novel for Lovers of Crosswords”).
In the plot, reality and dream, history and modern times intertwine in an unusual way, parables about saints mingle with stories of countless temptations of the devil.
