Perhaps his finest work to date, this new -mosaic- novel cleverly weaving multiple narrative threads into a tapestry of surrealism, reaching a magnificent conclusion in the final tale. A linked set of unique stories, combining simplicity of language and structure with thought-provoking explorations of life and death and reality.

The Five Wonders of the Danube

When people begin dying in a bookshop, a green volume entitled The Last Book contains or is the key to the mystery. Serbian master fantasist Živkovic has written not only a mystery novel, but also a discreet, witty love story.

The Last Book

Like one of Escher's drawings, the narrative threads lead one through a dizzying labyrinth of recurring themes, images and characters: God and suicide, food and poison, monks, athletes, soldiers and soccer players all take their places in the circle-dance. Absurdity, surreality and humor abound.

Escher's Loops

Vanwege een serie mysterieuze sterfgevallen bezoekt literatuurliefhebber en politie-inspecteur Dejan Lukic de Papyrus Boekhandel. Hij ontmoet de aantrekkelijke eigenaresse, Vera Gavrilovic, en ontdekt wat de slachtoffers gemeen hadden: vlak voor hun dood lazen ze allen een ongeïdentificeerd werk, het laatste boek. Wanneer het aantal ogenschijnlijk doelloze sterfgevallen stijgt raken de Binnenlandse veiligheidsdienst, een apocalyptische sekte en een exotische theesalon erbij betrokken, terwijl de ontluikende relatie van Dejan en Vera bedreigd wordt door nachtmerries en naderend gevaar... Hanteert een moordenaar de methode uit De naam van de roos? In een race tegen de klok moet inspecteur Lukic het geheim van het laatste boek ontdekken en achterhalen waarom hij het gevoel heeft dat hij alles wat hem overkomt al eens gelezen heeft.

Het laatste boek

Mysterious deaths bring literature-loving inspector Lukic to investigate... the victims were all reading an elusive and unidentified volume named The Last Book. Is a literary madman murdering readers as in the The Name of the Rose? The secret of The Last Book conceals the clash of reality and the awesome power of the creative imagination.

A series of mysterious deaths in the Papyrus Bookstore brings literature-loving police inspector Dejan Luki to investigate. Together with the attractive owner, Vera Gavrilovi, they discover the elusive Last Book is responsible. Seemingly causeless deaths multiply, the National Security Agency, a secret apocalyptic sect, and others are drawn in, and the secrets of immortality, death, and reality itself are revealed in a masterful trilogy that demonstrates the magical and ultimately benevolent power of literature. Includes The Last Book, The Grand Manuscript, and The Compendium of the Dead. Serbian master fantasist Zivkovic has written what may be the most delicious mystery by a speculative-fiction specialist since Stanislaw Lem's mind-boggling "The Investigation" (1974). Unlike Lem's novel, it is also a discreet, witty love story.-Publishers Weekly, USA"

The Papyrus Trilogy

Geoffrey Maloney

The Devil in Brisbane is an anthology alive with all of the spontaneity, cunning, wild imagination, and artifice of it's namesake. Zoran Zivković has conjured thirty tales of sardonic splendor from Australian writers both new and more established. In this case, the Devil is most definitely in the details.- Jeffrey Ford, author of The Portrait of Mrs. Charbuque

»Und jetzt ein kühles Spöttinger Bräu!« - Die Leute lieben das Spaichinger Bier, den Inhaber der Brauerei aber offensichtlich nicht: Er wird erwürgt. Mitten in der Klosterkirche. Pater Pius’ detektivischer Verstand arbeitet auf Hochtouren und als Kommissarin Verena Hälble einen Undercover-Mann braucht, schickt sie kurzerhand den Ordensmann nach Berlin. Und der gerät mitten hinein in einen Strudel aus Bier, Bonzentum und bitteren Wahrheiten ...

Klosterbräu

Seven stories about moments of divine revelation through music, which leave no mark beyond the ephemeral instant of their perception: a teacher whose autistic ward inexplicably writes down one of the fundamental values of theoretical physics; a librarian whose dream of the Great Library is reenacted upon her computer screen; a man who buys a music box that when played provides a glimpse into his alternative life; an elderly woman that, hearing a hand organ in a train station, begins to have visions of the death of everyone she encounters; a retired SETI scientist who, despite having no real interest in art, suddenly begins to paint a strange first contact signal; a dying professor who finally has a chance to hear in the form of music the answers to the ultimate questions; and a violin-maker's apprentice who knows the truth behind his master's mysterious suicide.

Speaking of the Fantastic III

One of the most beloved "mosaic novels," The Library presents a series of tales centered on our love of books-taken, at times, to extremes. A writer encounters a website with all his possible future books, an ordinary library turns by night into an archive of souls, and other visions. Winner of the 2003 World Fantasy Award for Best Novella!
