Too Much Time For Unimportant Things

Mihajlo Pantić has spent his whole life in Novi Beograd, and evidently the world looks quite different from there. Because of his unique perspective, this collection of stories is like creative therapy for the soul. He writes an elegant, urban, postmodern prose that does not burden the reader with its style while addressing profound questions like love, life, loss, the Balkans... His carefully constructed, lilting style will dare the reader to finish the book in one sitting, but the stories beckon us to read them again and again.
