Surfing Serbia

Viac o knihe

A novel about an unknown and magical Serbia. The dynamic journey of a former journalist and rocker between Belgrade and the interior reveals a different and more mysterious Serbia than anyone could imagine. On the pages of this novel, Hollywood meets the Kremlin, borscht and hallucinogenic sausages collide, and fiery folk music intertwines with a decadent Russian group that has invented a new musical genre, "Pomoravski surf." The main character, Ana, along with her boyfriend Đorđe, travels from Belgrade to a conference in the interior. However, her romantic relationship is coming to an end, and she leaves the "scientific camp" in disappointment. An adventure "for consolation" follows, during which Ana discovers an unknown, magical Serbia at the crossroads of several civilizations. She becomes a player in an unusual Russian surf band on tour in the south of the country. She befriends the singer, Ljubov, and flirts with band members, Aljoša and Oleg, as well as with an authentic Southerner. This raises various questions for her: will she find love and end her journey with a happy ending? After surfing the sea and the internet, this novel introduces a new category – land surfing in the adventures of an eccentric Belgrader. Full of uncertainty and original descriptions of Serbia, Surfing Serbia definitely establishes Ana Vučković as one of the leading younger Serbian writers.
