A detective novel taking place in modern California and the Atlantic City of the 1930s. Two crimes, linked over time, must both be solved. Passing GO uses images from the game Monopoly, based on Atlantic City streets, and interweaves a little known story of the mystery behind that famous game as well.
Chris Farmer’s new novel promises excitement, suspense, and also a good deal of humor. Perfect reading for lovers of mysteries, thrillers, and detective stories.
Posle prvog romana “Duga, Sunce i Srce” autorka Bojana Nešić nastavlja da život pretače u priče. Ovom zbirkom autorka nas vodi kroz događaje iz života njene petočlane porodice ali i mnoge druge “crtice” iz njene svakodnevice sa različitim zapažanjima. I kroz njih, najednom, svako od nas prepoznaje sebe u nekom trenutku. Prepoznaje svoje mirise detinjstva, svoje tuge kada gubimo drage ljude, kada smo naizgled bespomoćni u nekim situacijama, svoju “nevaljalu” decu, probleme sa kojima se suočavamo, dobre ljude koje srećemo, pa i one druge. Na momente ćete se glasno smejati, a odmah zatim brisati suze. I setićete se da život, zapravo, piše najbolje romane, ili bar zbirke priča. I kada zatvorite poslednju stranu imaćete samo jedan utisak - samo se sreća, zaista, računa.
Roman “Duga, Sunce i Srce” je prva knjiga Bojane Nešić. Autorka je želela da kroz ličnu i emotivnu porodičnu priču, podeli teškoće, izazove i pobede koje donosi život sa detetom sa smetnjama u razvoju.
The new book, which exists now in the future, is all about the past - the prehistory of my Serbian sojourn. The pieces collected in the new volume of grumpiness were written between 2002 and 2006 - just before I began posting them here on B92.
In it, you will encounter my observations about toilet paper names, about store hours, and about the strangeness that surrounded the changing face of the country in the early days of the post-Milosevic transition - a time when the country did not even know its own name.
Imagine, then, a foreigner debarking in Belgrade and trying to make some kind of sense out of what he saw. A world on its head as seen reflected in a distorted mirror - viewed someone else's glasses.
If you saw the first book, Grumpy in Belgrade, published last year, you may be prepared for what is coming. Otherwise, read slowly and at longish intervals.
Just to mitigate any psychotropic effects.
A collection of assorted strangeness as observed and undergone by one American living in Belgrade for many years. Grumpy in Belgrade contains original works as well as blogs, columns, and essays which have previously appeared on his B92 VIP blog, in Politika, onhttp://www.livinginbelgrade.com, and in the bi-weekly newspaper, Belgrade Insight, among others.
