Milorad Pavić is an iconic Serbian writer whose works blend magical realism with hypertextuality, allowing the reader to influence the plot.
Two of his novels, "Starry Mantle" and "The Writing Box," are published under the same cover.
"Starry Mantle" is a guide to the signs of the zodiac. The protagonist discovers that whenever she falls asleep, she is reborn under a different sign. She becomes a medieval woman in love with an Aquarius man and planning to kill someone. She awakens as a woman from the 20th century who has an 18th-century enemy, born under the sign of Sagittarius, who is stealing her time and youth. She finds herself under bombardment in Yugoslavia, suffering from love for a Taurus who has forgotten her name...
Transported through the pages of a zodiac reference book, you must determine the heroine's fate: restore her name and reunite the lovers, or, without doing anything, leave them broken in the middle of war.
The story of "The Writing Box" begins at the very end. Inside the box—in postcards, an ad, a recipe, a manuscript, pages torn from a book, film, and photographs—is captured the complex love story of two extraordinary individuals. She can read scents and twice buys the most expensive fur coat in Paris completely free. He searches for a girl with a female copy of the "Khazar Dictionary" and forgets his native Serbian in seven lessons. Their relationship is measured by the love clock, which measures the duration of lovemaking...
This is a mystery novel, a labyrinthine novel. This is a wordless story about what love is. The novel has two endings, one of which can be unlocked by clicking on a QR code.
