The Life with Voles - surreal stories
by Ana Bilic
Description
Regards from Boris Vian!
One hundred short stories about the surreal world of voles and the other phantasmagorical creatures that create a strange, fairy-tale and utopian world. Through the main form of dialogue, the author shows a densely interwoven structure of a multitude of characters and their relationships - in the family, in relationships and in business - which examines in an allegorical, witty and often ironic way our contemporary urban life, human fates and errors. It was written with minimalist precision, almost sketchy, with a dynamic alternation of events.

Reviews
Review "Feral Tribune" from January 10, 2000
„... Bilic's short stories are an "amusing" mixture between Tolkien and Thomas Bernhard. Tolkien's world of "likeable" strange creatures is maintained in the same tone, but their meaning "slips" to the point of cutting into Bernhard's cool existentialist punch line. One cannot say that the author likes voles, but on the other hand it is not about misanthropy. In any case, it seems that life with the voles can only have a meaning if you represent its absurdity".
