"Črna mati zemla" roman je o uspješnom mladom piscu, Matiji Dolenčecu, koji stvaralačku i ljubavnu blokadu pokušava otkloniti dosežući vlastitu, do amnezije potisnutu priču, onu koju je kompenzirao izmišljanjem svih drugih priča. Roman o osobnom putovanju iz osvijetljenog, otuđenog, neobaveznog i urbanog u tamno, blisko i ruralno.

Črna mati zemla

An amnesiac writer's life of lies and false memories reaches a breaking point in this stunning English-language debut from an award-winning Croatian author. As a novelist, Matija makes things up for a living. Not yet thirty, he's written two well-received books. It's his third that is as big a failure as his private life. Unable to confine his fabrications to fiction, he's been abandoned by his girlfriend over his lies. But all Matija has is invention. Especially when it comes to his childhood and the death of his father. Whatever happened to Matija as a young boy, he can't remember. He feels frightened, angry, and responsible... Now, after years of burying and reinventing his past, Matija must confront it. Longing for connection, he might even win back the love of his life. But discovering the profound fears he has suppressed has its risks. Finally seeing the real world he emerged from could upend it all over again.
