Serbian Fiction Week: Dana Todorovic in B O D Y

From The Tragic Fate of Moritz Tóth by Dana Todorović, translated by the author, as Serbian Fiction Week continues at B O D Y.

This excerpt shows one of the twin narratives of the novel which pairs the story of a punk rocker, Moritz, who works as a prompter at the Budapest Opera, with that of Tobias, who works for the very Kafkaesque Office of the Great Overseer.

You can read a review of the novel at roughghosts.

If you missed the first installment of Serbian fiction read Fear and his Servant by Mirjana Novaković here. More coming.

Photo – Turandot, Czech National Theater, because it was the first opera seen by the main character of this book.
